Re: [Cooker] laptop config rpm?
Love the idea. Having one of these beasts and just getting the knowledge to set it up has been a long haul - but worth it in the long run! Too late for 8.2, but in the next release would allow Mandrake to take over the laptop Linux market! - no competition in sight, a perfect niche!

For instance a Dell Inspiron rpm would include a script that would place noapic on the append statement, load the Dell modules for volume control and maybe even enable the cdrom control with xmms or some other such program. Then during install you could ask a question along the lines of laptop, server, desktop? and if laptop, they could choose their laptop or even brand (like Dell) or just a generic if not on the list. Then most issues would be resolved up front. You also have the added bonus of dedicated users doing fine tweaks for their laptops that can make it into these rpms.

Re: [Cooker] If ns4 removed, a link needs to be created to mozilla
Bad move removing Netscape. I keep tripping over websites (especially banking!) that wont accept other than netscape 4.7/8 or ie. In some, even the menu script in the web page tests for netscape ver 4.?, refusing galeon (reports itself as ver 5) and mozilla. Wish galeon had the ability of konquerer to report whatever version you want, but then konquerer has other incompatibilities and wont display the pages for other reasons (flaky java support?)

Re: [Cooker] If ns4 removed, a link needs to be created to mozilla
Does anyone have any more information on this - search of mozdev and google doesnt turn up anything interesting.

This is a mixed 8.1 and some cooker from src packages, as well as the cvs mentioned earlier, so I think that it just totally confused as to what is what!

Re: [Cooker] Abit KR7A-RAID
This has been done to death a few times. Basicly if you want to use raid simply on this board, go redhat. Whilst I have not done it, it seems that their install will detect it and install the drivers in RH7.2. I was looking over the shoulder of someone doing an install and it was even a menu choice! For Mandrake, you are stuck with pure software raid with no use of the HP chip - I guess the difference between an OS aimed at the desktop and less towards a server setup. Can be done but requires a *LOT* of reading and research - I am trying to figure out how to do this and not lose any of the 40gb of data already on the system that I have nowhere to back up to because I could not find the info needed when the machine was built.
