 I have also finished installing m 7.0

 Immediate comments pretty cool.

 No problems at all and BEST OF ALL... my Sound blaster live value sound card
 worked fine... all I had to do was compile a new copy of emu10k.o and put
 it in the modules dir and load the module.

 I am a real NEWBIE to LINUX so this is really great if I can get this
 card to work
 anyone can..., however but do not be fooled by the soundconfig utility this
 did not help.

 Well done all whom helped construct Mandrake 7.0 - its gonna be a winner.

 Now I have sound... windoze is going bye-bye!!

 Subject: [Cooker] More comments on Oxygen-3

 I just finished installing Beta-3.  3 immediate comments:

 1. I noticed that amd was installed by default (as evidenced by the fact
 that I couldn't log in because my home directory couldn't be found ;-)).
 I'm pretty sure most people are now using autofs, which is newer, cleaner,
 and actively maintained.  In any case, at the very least the installer
 should be given a choice between amd and autofs.

 2.
 I'm not entirely satisfied with the granularity of choosing packages.  For
 example, nowhere was I given the option of not installing TeX, as far as I
 can tell.  (Of course I want TeX, but I think a lot of junk I don't want
 was installed anyway.)  1.3 gigabytes!  What hath linux come to?

 3.
 Is there any way not to get kde?  kde and gnome are 2 terrible mistakes
 IMHO.  I chose expert installation and tried very hard not to get any
 gnome or kde junk.  Still, when I run startx, I end up looking at the kde
 desktop.  :(p

  economy.  So if they could do it then, surely we can deal with it now,

 I agree. He didn't need to be bagered because he can't speak English.
 Granted, he isn't going to do too well on this list if he can't read
 English, but the fact that he is Belgian shouldn't make a difference. I,
 for example, can read Frech quite well, but can't write it too well. I
 understand that it is easier to read than to write, so I'd be willing to
 answer French questions in English, as long as the French-speaking
 person could understand what I wrote.
