Yeah, it's a great site. I actually downloaded the entire tar file to make sure i had it. There was talk of transferring it to the wiki and cutting out anything that wasn't still pertinent, but that's an entire project in itself. eric -- Mandrake HowTo's & More: http://twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

The couple links i tried just sent me to the signup screen where you can become a member. Yeah, there are forums open, as you said. BUt it's a lot to plug thru. For example, let's say i wanted to know more about urpmi. I don't see that sort of info on the club. There are many posts about it, but it would require way more digging than a concise article on it. This is just one example, though, so feel free to tell me i am missing something. eric Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

Just tried following the instructions on how to slipstream updated packages into the Mandrake CDs at http://qa.mandrakesoft.com/twiki/bin/view/Main/SlipStreamUpdates. Couldn't make head nor tail of it I'm afraid. I'll sleep on it tonight and see what happens... won't hold my breath tho, never was a good cook... ;) Sharrea -- Help Microsoft stamp out piracy - give Linux to a friend today Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Re: [newbie] twiki, etc, was LG CDRoms
I've been camping all weekend (and hoping my route home wouldn't burn up in all the fires) so i am jumping in late on this thread. I'll just add my two cents here, but as always, they're just my opinions. Tom Brinkman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Archives of this an other Mandrake lists are readily available.

At one point it was suggested that the MUO files be copied to the twiki for that reason. Mandrake Club is not available to newbies "looking into" Mandrake. Mandrake Expert is not very useful either, as far as i can tell, until you pay for help. Or did i miss something?
