Yes, Boys and Girls; It's not only out, but it's amazing! When I tried the Beta2 version on my laptop, my NIC wouldn't stay up, and the system kept locking up during boot-up, when it was checking for new hardware - as in Harddrake. Also, Beta 2 ran slow on my laptop, while it ran my CPU in circles on my PC's! Beta 2 was at least 40% faster than Windows 2000 or XP Pro. No question! But RC1 is Smokin' on the laptop, and I mean fast! They've outdone themselves folks! Just finished the install, and everything is detected - even the Winmodem that will never work in Linux. It may not work, but it is being recognized for a change! Everything in KDE ( 3.2.6! ) is working as advertised, and actually does what it's supposed to do. No glitches, crashes, and it even accepted some of the KDE 3.2.1 RPM's re-worked by Voidstar for 9.2 . I'm in love again! If this thing keeps working like this for the next few days, I doubt that it will be giving me problems in the foreseeable future.

Ray Just a suggestion here, but it wouldn't surprise me in the least to find out that the HP8100+ is actually manufactured by Samsung. I can't remember specifics, but I've had quite a few of those HP drives, and they've been nothing but trouble, especially in Linux, but also in Windows. Of course we all know that HP doesn't build their own drives don't we? Like a lot of companies, they just rebrand them, and slap a new front-end on their software. Their buffers are crap, and they tend to fail quite often. IIRC, the trouble is the firmware on the drives, but it's very tricky to upgrade without info from the manufacturer, and they don't like to give out that info. You said it yourself Ray - 3 distro's of Linux, and the same problem with each. Odds are that it's not a driver module or flaw in Linux, but a problem with the drive. That would easily explain why you're not getting many responses to your post. Other people aren't having that problem, so they don't know how to help. I suggest a Pioneer, or Plextor drive as a long-term replacement. That 8100+ is about 2 or 3 years old, isn't it? Depending on how much you use the drive, it may be time for an upgrade anyway. Try borrowing another brand of drive from someone else and try that one out. As long as Mandrake detects the new drive, it's probably a sure thing that the problem goes away. It may not be the fix you had in mind but it should be a permanent fix. Before you run out to the store to buy a new one though, replace the IDE cable, and see if the drive is set as a Master or Slave. Whichever it is, reverse it. If there's a CDROM drive in the same PC, and on the same cable, reverse it's master/Slave settings at the same time. Also, drop the DMA in the BIOS to 0 or off, and make sure that the IDE cable is attached to your Secondary IDE interface with an ATA33 cable, and not an ATA100 cable, or to the Primary IDE interface.. Stick with the basics first, then try it out. Since the drive is screwing up whenever you attempt to access it though, I wouldn't hold out for that as a fix.

Some times it goes nuts for just a bit and then it is ok. Not often, I believe it is when the cpu or ram are running near 100% but not able to tell for sure. Anyway, lanman called it right, be afraid MS be very afraid. PS. check out the Personal Information Manager on the toolbar. Very cool. I really like the new menu format too. -- Dennis M. linux user #180842 Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com
