In windows, under settings Add/Remove programs, you can select windows components to change the configuration, you can access that screen again to install/remove programs that are windows components. Since your install selection program (which is worlds better than in 7.0/7.1) is so awesome, you would have the best software configuration management package available without much more work. 15. Concerning the RAID stuff, but I have both DPT and AMI raid cards available for testing if you haven't inhouse. BTW: what is Erwan?

The thanks :-) only real piece lacking from linux is an outlook type program (KDE2, evolution and Magellan will hopefully change that soon.) Linux kicks butt! We have 100 companies using linux mission critical applications. We have to use redhat right now because of the Raid issue and Dell support. (Dell is our most widely used server). We would probably use mandrake otherwise. We use Mandrake on all of our internet servers.

RE: [Cooker] 7.2 beta problems.
#1 this isn't really a problem except that it didn't seem to remember the settings when you tried to reset from within DrakConf #11 probably, I played around with it quite a bit to see how it works. I really like this functionality. This was happening while the install was malfunctioning because of the 20G file size and I was going back and forth between the install sections. #12 it is just a partition that uses user files. Instead of naming /home or whatever, I named it /u2 --- Edward J.

[Cooker] 7.2 beta problems.
I installed mandrake 7.2 from the beta 2 cd on an AMD thurnderbird 800. Changing the mouse type to intellimouse renders it useless during the install. 1220C printer driver prints blank page, using 1600c works fine. INND: startup says execvp: no such file or directory Battery misspelled in daemon selection list CD-RW has /dev/cdrom linked to /dev/scd1 instead of /dev/scd0. Resetting the link works fine. KDE screen save config errors out (actually many of the KDE programs dont run or error out). Setting up DNS during install doesnt seem to write to /etc/resolv.conf iBCS doesnt seem to work, it loads ok, but cant load a SCO binary. (This seems to be a AMD related problem, because 7.1 has the same problem). Xfree 4.0 uses tons of memory and doesnt have the DGA setup so VMWare doesnt work. VM: has trouble freeing memory pages so memory consumption gets larger and larger. Writes a lot of error messages to the console. Disk partitioning during setup allows you to format the partition, then it gets re-formatted in the next step. Also partitions you didnt want to format get formatted as well. This is with ReiserFS. Partition a /u2 with more than 20G (I tried 25G) and the install will not complete. Many packages from 7.1 that I use regularily are not included. (Could be because I didnt load the extension CD). Kisocd is the main one that comes to mind. Any reason not to put the expert package selection in the installed os so it would be easy to change the configuration once installed. You have outdone yourself on this one, it is much better than any software selection I have seen. Do you have anyone trying the RAID controllers? I have a DPT and AMI that I could try, all previous versions of mandrake did not install with these controllers as the primary drive (unlike RH which has since 5.0). This will be a pretty awesome OS once the kinks are worked out. Anyway, due to the memory and kde crashing problems I switched back to 7.1. --- Edward J.
