Re: [Cooker] Xircom Realport Cardbus (RBEM-56G) still broke
Oh, shock! You mean I'm not the only one with a Xircom Cardbus card? :-) Yes, I too have been spurned by the mandrake team. I have to manually install it on my laptop.

Re: [Cooker] DiskDrake???
Thank you for the info. Would it be acceptable to run the script on mdk7.2? I have managed to get it installed on both of my computers (both of which have had trouble with this). Since these versions have had problems, maybe I need to run it on an earlier version? I certainly want to contribute what I can (I am a programmer, but have no experience writing for the linux OS).

[Cooker] DiskDrake???
While installing Linux-Mandrake (seems to be multigenerational bug -- also in 7.2 versions), the program halts during package installation at seemingly arbitrary points with complaint "no hdlists found". -- Parenthetically, upon subsequent installation of RehHat, to salvage data on the disk, I get errors indicating a corrupted partition table. Anybody else seeing this error? It has occurred for me with various system architectures and Mandrake versions. Rich Chase
