well I think the only time I tried it was with redhat 5.0 and I don't think I've done it since.

Re: [Cooker] Mandrake 7.0 self-destruct
So ..I take it from the reponses that Mandrake Staff Do not care what end users think? Only Linux Gurus and geekheads matter. Hm Smells of a Microsoft Attitude to me. I just want a stable system. I want a customizable system. I want a system that I can learn with. Is that to much to ask? Maybe I am not a developer/coder/compiler kind of person. I do know what I am. I am an end user/computer business owner that builds his own machines and machines for others. I know that when I put hardware in a system it needs to be able to work with the OS... let me rephrase that... maybe this is the whole industry problem the OS needs to work with ANY hardware. What a Novel Idea. I just think it was real odd that the oxygen iso was stable... at least it seem that way. Then along comes AIR 2 different upload times and a mandrake7.0 iso in a different directory all in the same night? I just don't understand why there wasn't a "stable" version out. Kernels are tested... listed as stable when they are ready for end users to download. Why not with OS distros? I feel like I am being laughed at because I am unable to get mandrake 7.0 to stay working for more than a day. Beleive me... If it was my fault it was screwing up I would be FIRST to admit it.

Re: [Cooker] Mandrake 7.0 self-destruct
Yes.. I thought this would be the case also.. BUT.. after going on 7 clean Installs. I double checked...When you select a main category you assume it means EVERYTHING in that category will be selected. Just to double check I selected every category heading. Then I proceeded to expand EVERY tree. Guess what... there were intermittent packages NOT selected throughout the whole tree. Beleive Me I WANT mandrake 7.0 to work.I get it installed.. everytime.. something goes haywire to mess up the WHOLE system. I have tried it on 2 different machines. I have run ontrack diagnositc on the hard drive. I have run Western Digital Diag on the Hard drive... I even wrote zeros to the drive. HOPING it would fix the prob. It just seems to me that Oxygen was more stable than AIR. OXYGEN kicked! Take Care Chris

To select all packages, you can click one time on each packages class in the big rpm class list (don't unroll the tree, just click on class, they'll get white : it means all packages of this class are selected) Pixel: i think that add the "select all" button is a good idea -- www.linux-mandrake.com somewhere between the playstation and the craystation Thierry

[Cooker] Mandrake 7.0 self-destruct
I have installed mandrake 7.0 4 times. 1st time I couldn't get it to recognize my modem. Figured I did something wrong during install. 2nd time I hard jumpered the modem and got the modem working. Everything seemed fine. I tested CD roast by copying a CD ... it was buggy.. graphically... widgets blanked out etc... but it was still burning... so I let it go. Burn was fine.Powered down the machine ... went to bed Started the machine... "KERNEL PANIC". I had no idea how to fix that . So on to the 3rd time... I start the install Bam! It tells me It can't find the proper kernel headers.. So I wait for the CD from a freind of mine to come in the mail. Again looking at myself as the problem. maybe the CD had scratches.. maybe a corrupt download. Got the CD in the mail. Installed Great. Modem working Cruisin the internet... found sound drivers ... reference mind you ... but hey this is linux .. give it a try. I do a sndconfig ... it says drivers not supported ... even though it SEES the drivers. I try some things.. Well I have sound in some areas... but no event sounds. I try to play a CD . Well guess what... ALL 3 Cdroms I have are pointing to my floppy drive! I try to correct this... No go... try in root etc...Nada. So I get on the internet to talk with some linux freinds to see what they think.. All of a sudden my screen starts pulsating. I get it shut down thinking.. My monitor is toast. Slip Winblows hard drive in... boot up.. everything is fine. My thoughts are... maybe the kernel is not compatible with the K62 400 CPUOnly area I can see that would do random changes to a system. Also... Linux convention in New York is coming up... So mandrake people rushed the CD out so they could have it packaged ready to go at the convention. IF this is the case... Ya might have shot yourself in the foot. Please realize Mandrake has been my favorite distro since 5.1. Why .. because it was easy to use for a beginner like me. well... I am not even at inttermediate yet. This version is NOT easy it is "pretty" to install. there is NO way to know ALL the packages you select are going to be installed or not.. there is NO select ALL option. I hope there will be a less buggy release in the future. Take care Chris
