HiH There was a posting at the Mandrake Club within the past two or three days acknowledging that they have really screwed up on some of the preorders, and that remedial steps have been taken (Sorry, buddy, you don't work here anymore.) Let's hope that the new CEO puts this mess high on his priority list. It could be a real black eye for Mandrake, and they don't need that kind of publicity. Billing a credit card before the goods are shipped is not only immoral, IIRC it is illegal in some places. Beyond that, the credit card companies don't like getting involved in stop-payment orders, and it's not a good idea for an e-business to piss off these folks. -- cmg Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

The check has been cashed for quite some time though. I ordered the DVD with manuals, and the sad thing is that I don't know if its even gonna do me any good or not. V9.0 has been very problematic here. It installed perfectly on my sons 3 year old machine. It installed perfectly on my main computer - then absolutely refused to boot up. Dennis suggested passing the linux noapic line to it, and that seemed to work - I can boot up now - and can't shutdown at all. I've tried various combinations of halt, powerdown, and shutdown with -h now etc, etc,... but nothing works. It starts shutting down, gets to: sending all processes the term signal OK sending all processes the kill signalOK and thats it. Nothing more, to paraphrase a certain raven from a classic Edgar Allen Poe poem... grin and it won't even reboot as well. It stops at the same place. Needless to say, after having to use a hardware reset or poweroff, its not too happy when it restarts. :-( I'm hoping for an answer on this list...

Re: [newbie] Have you got your LM90 preorders?
geez i dutifully paid my money for 8.1 and 8.2 and was considering doing so for 9.0 ... but is it just me, or does Mandrake WANT me to change to a different distro? some of the user-hostile things they've done lately makes me wonder my two cents, kenn --- Dale Huckeby [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On 13 Dec 2002, Lyvim Xaphir wrote: Is there anybody on this list that has NOT recieved their LM90 preorders?
