I think its really time to fix sympa ;) I am surprised it made it to expert at all with cooker in the To field. I have never seen an email go to more than one mandrake list. I would expect this email to go to cooker twice (once for cooker, and once for expert). eric -- Mandrake HowTo's & More: http://twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

I removed the former to avoid confusion and pasted the info back to the latter. I haven't checked the two lists though. The confusion arose because there were two files for cdroms: one CDroms (which I have removed too) and CdRoms. http://mandrake.vmlinuz.ca/bin/view/Main/CdRoms > > > > > > No, > > >You just overwrote me.

Telstra, Australia's largest Telecommunication company, is switching to Linux and open source on the desktop creating a potential nightmare for Microsoft. Their pilot has been quite successful, and improved stability has been noticed. The move is motivated by increased stability and important cost savings. A few months ago, Microsoft's CEO Steve Ballmer went to Australia to speak to Telstra to beg them not to abandon Windows but his mission was not successful.

Ok, here's status: Nicolas Planel found the origin of the problem. It's the "packet writing support" for cd/dvd burners that was introduced on 15th of August, changelog reading: - 2.4.22-rc2q5. [...] * add packet cdvd support (svetoslav). What amazes me is that we've had it in the kernel of 9.2-RC1 and 9.2-RC2, and it still managed to be, erhm, "featured", in the final version.
