Yes, it is slow. But i noteced that Linuxberg, that i ussually use for ISO downloading already has about of 400 MB of both images.

Re: Mandrake 7.2 update
Yesterday I've updated two systems - one from RH7.0 and one from Mandrake 7.1 - both got Mandrake 7.2 installed using a network boot diskette, one using FTP transfers and one using NFS shares (exactly why is pretty comlpicated, but involves the fact that I didn't have CDROMs, but the ISO images stored on the computers, which where the only ones on a small LAN). anyway - the upgrade went smoothly - in the machine that used to be a Mandrake 7.1 I chose the upgrade path, and it kept all of my settings, didn't have to change a thing. it updated all the packages and insalled some brand new 7.2 stuff, and then I went and installed several other things by hand (mostly things from the extensions CD which I had no idea how to make the installation use it when installing over the network - it does list the packages correctly, but it didn't install any of them - maybe I need to have a single directory tree the holds all the packages , instead of the two loop mounted ISOs ?). The box that was an RH7 was a little more dificult - first, it didn't let me choose an upgrade - all I could do was install a new one. since I didn't want to format my HDD, i also didn't have much room left on the drive, and when computing percentage of packeges to install, based on disk's free space, it didn't take in account the fact that most files will be replaced by new packages. so I had to manually go over the disk and delete the binaries and anything that wasn't a configuration I wanted to keep (all was done using the installation's console, so I didn't need to qut the install - pretty cool). after that things went smoother - it installed everything it could found from the first disk (second disk had the same problem I described above), and didn't delete any of the configuration files I had. the downside was that I had to manually go over all the configuration and merge the new stuff with the old settings. anyway, I know have both machines happily running Mandrake 7.2, and it was almost no fuss (it probably was going to be less fuss if I would have installed from CDs directly). I do recomend to install WebMin - I usually don't really like "all-in-all" configuration programs, but this one saves lots of pain and anguish if getting a physical access to the machine is less the easy. just don't do user managment with it and make sure you know what it does to your configuration files. One problem though - I use SSH to connect to the computers remotely - I usually use either the unix SSH command, the MindBright Java Applet, or a free Win32 Client called Putty (I use version 0.48). after installing Mandrake 7.2, which comes with OpenSSH 2.2.0pl1, I can't get putty to connect to any of the Mandrake 7.2 boxes - I always get a 'protocol initlisation error'. the other clients are working fine , of course. what gives ?

Mandrake 7.2 -- Konqueror browser
I've been trying out the new Konqueror browser in Mandrake 7.2. It seems quite good, but I haven't figured out how to get it to work with RealPlayer video. According to the documentation, it should detect and work with Netscape plug-ins. That seems to be true for other file formats, but not for RealPlayer. I've tried www.cnn.com and www.real.com and can't see video in Konqueror even though these sites work fine in Netscape. Any ideas?

Mandrake 7.2 Scheduling Problem
I am using Mandrake 7.2 for quite some time now and have noticed a very strange problem which was not present in Mandrake 7.1. When I run xmms in order to play mp3s, and do something which is a little CPU intensitive in parallel, I hear the music muffled. Something CPU intensitive can mean starting gvim, or opening a terminal window or moving windows around. In MD7.1 I sometimes heard pauses but nothing quite as frequent as this, which is really disturbing. It is occuring whether I use KDE, GNOME or IceWM. I am running XMMS by using EsounD as my backend. I have a PIII 600 MHz, with 64MB of RAM, 45 GB of hard-disk dedicated to the Linux, and a Creative 128 PCI sound card. I did not re-compile a kernel yet, but saw little incenitive to do so, as my current configuration detects all the hardware I need.

There was that old problem, also on Windows with Winamp and other music players, which had something to do with the PCI bus and your graphics card. Scrolling would interfere with your music. What graphics card do you have? If not on XFree86 4.0 already, try upgrading (if your card is supported there). Upgrading to XFree86 4.0 is a good idea in any case. -- Best regards, Ilya Konstantinov = To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Mandrake 7.2 Sound Scheduling (cont.)
Well, I finally realized that the problem with the xmms scheduling was that it was using ALSA (Advanced Linux Sound Architecture) as its soundcard backend. When I switched it to OSS (Open Sound System), I managed to run it with much less problems. Since I have little motivation to prefer ALSA over OSS (I use EsounD for my sound needs, which works equally well on either architecture), I decided to stick to OSS for the while.

Scrambled Menus in GNOME in Mandrake 7.2/8.0
