Re: [Cooker] Why ext3fs is a default fs, not ReiserFS?

[Per ?yvind Karlsen]

ReiserFS is still not to be trusted..
I have experienced this for myself and alot of other people are 
complaining too...

oh well, back to work*sigh*

Re: [Cooker] 9.0 Beta 3: NVIDIA drivers (Was: ATI Radeon 8500 drivers)

[Per ?yvind Karlsen]

that's not entirely correct
there are sources for the kernel-module, but not the GLX module
NVIDIA_GLX-blablabla.src.rpm contains only precompiled binaries
NVIDIA_kernel-blablabla.src.rpm cointans the source for the kernel module
anyway, the license prohibits mandrake to ship these packages with the 
distro, does'nt it?

Could it be possible to use them in Mandrake 9.0? Maybe they could be 
included into 9.0 relese?
