If I may say Civilme.. this is why I use Mandrake (since 6.0) instead of
RH . Go and find a copy of 7.0 on one of the mirrors I dare you.  7.0
turned out to be the beta 2 of 7.1 *grin*  

One question for you, since you may well know the best.  With Mandrake 7.0
the system for beta testing was a harddrive download/install rsynced
nightly (if you were serious) and a special discussion area for the bugs. 
Was it a bandwidth issue that caused the system to be changed?  Just
curious not complaining.

Frankly, Beta2 is a disaster.  RPC doesn't work, updates kill Python, 
and all sorts of packages are missing.  Beta3 is in much better shape, 
but unixODBC packages are incomplete...

No, you submit bug reports to www.mandrakexpert.com unless you want to 
go into exhaustive detail about the bug every single time in which case 
you write to [EMAIL PROTECTED] to become an authorized bugzilla 
poster.  We had to close it because we could not spend the time to sort 
the bugs(signal) from the technical assistance requests(noise)   The 
ratio had become unworkable, like 4000 reports for less than 200 real bugs.

Should install automatically.  You need to do an su before you can run it.
