Anyhow, this looks like 9.0 will be a real windows breaker watch out for falling glass. I haven't had any of the problems, specially with MCC, that a few of y'all have. Haven't seen complaints on the cooker list either so I dunno. I regularly do a few edits to fstab (for windoze mount points), so that's NBFD for me, but my floppy, cd drives worked just fine with the default 9.0beta fstab lines. /dev/hdb7 / reiserfs notail 1 1 /dev/hdb5 /boot ext3 defaults 1 2 /dev/hda1 /c vfat iocharset=iso8859-1,umask=0,codepage=850 0 0 /dev/hda5 /d vfat iocharset=iso8859-1,umask=0,codepage=850 0 0 none /dev/pts devpts mode=0620 0 0 none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0 none /mnt/cdrom supermount dev=/dev/hdc,fs=iso9660,ro,--,iocharset=iso8859-1 0 0 none /mnt/cdrom2 supermount dev=/dev/scd0,fs=iso9660,ro,--,iocharset=iso8859-1 0 0 none /mnt/floppy supermount dev=/dev/fd0,fs=supermount,--,auto,iocharset=iso8859 -1,umask=0,sync,codepage=850 0 0 /dev/hdb6 /mnt/hd reiserfs notail 1 2 none /proc proc defaults 0 0 /dev/hdb1 swap swap defaults 0 0 everything works fine here. Tho I'm waitin on beta2 CD's in the mail, I've got beta1 fairly current with cooker the new rpmdrake sux ;( Too much functionality removed in order to dumb it down .. yuck. Believe after a fresh install of beta2, I'll try'n move the 'old' rpmdrake back in. -- Tom Brinkman Corpus Christi, Texas Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
