I am surprised this is not done! I don't imagine that would be easy to do. It's always easy to say what others should do. We benefit from Mandrake's policy, and we have to do our bit to repay that.

Has anyone found problems installing/running Mandrake on AMD Athlon or Duron processors? Thanks, Colin Colin: Well, I've had four AMD's, starting with a K6-2-300 and Mandrake 7.0 and working up to my present XP2500+ and 9.2. Any problems were all on this side of the case. (I also had a 486DX4-120 back in my DR-DOS days -- it, too, worked very well.) The big deal with Athlons is (1) make sure that you have a good power supply (see the AMD site for recommendations) and (2) there ain't no such thing as too much cooling. Perhaps more important than the CPU is the chipset. I've always had VIA's. There were some problems with them several years ago, but, as near as I can tell, they pretty much have their act under control now. -- cmg Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
