Re: [newbie] Cool Poll! :)

 I would like to do so but until now, no one can come up with a fix on my keyboard 
bug.  I've even tried installing Redhat 5.2 and upgrade to Mandrake 5.3 to no avail.  
I've even fdisked my master boot record, I've tried upgrading from Caldera Openlinux 
and yet, I still get "r66t instead of "root" so, I cannot even log in.  I really 
thought I was going to take off on my Linux when I read about Mandrake.  Something is 
broke in Linux 5.3.  I've tried installing my different types of Redhat 5.s (sam's 
unleashed, official and Cheap bytes) and I don't have that problem.  I can log in 
successfully with Red hat but not mandrake.

Hello!

There is a cool poll on: http://www.linuxcountry.com/

You can choose Mandrake for the best distribution! Actually, RedHat
leads with 47.1% and Mandrake just follow! with 19.9% :-)

It's still time to do more than RH ;-) http://www.linuxcountry.com/

Your problem comes certainly from our initscripts which set numlock on
at boot time (RedHat does not). This is a problem with a few type of
laptops under Linux. Please try to set your numlock off and log as
root.

Greets,

Gael.
