Warly,
The Mandrake primary mirror is in a chaotic state. Old RPMs are not
being deleted!
This seems to happen periodically - as I recall, the last time it was
a permissions problem on the server.

After installing the KDE 2.1 CVS Beta 1, all my legacy apps seem to be
ignoring KDE fonts and colors. There used to be a setting somewhere in
KControl to enable this, but I've been through it several times now and if
it's still there, I can't find it.
Can someone point me at it, please?
Thanks
Not only that, with some patience and reading of ..oh what maybe
mandrakeuser.org one can download the rpms one needs. I am on 7.2 with 4.0.2
and its working perfectly.

I liked the system of Walnut, where you could subscribe for several years to
slackware or other CDs.
I think Mandrake should do that online, where you receive automatically the
new version of Mandrake in the post. Nothing Fancy just the CDs in an
envelope. For us couch potatoes or people who don'

Hi!
I tried to recompile the SRPM of XFree-4.0.2 with the 2.2.18 kernel.
I got some errors addressed to the kernel includes. I have found somewhere
that kernel 2.2.18 src has the problems with links in /usr/include, and that
includes should be addressed directly like /usr/src/linux/include.

I wanted screen blanking turned right off.
The control panel had the screensaver off,
but it was still blanking out.
There were no setting; in the control panels
to let me do this. I was stuck...
Now, I've been using Linux since 1993 and its
only recently that I started using KDE/Gnome.

Ok this does seem dumb to me. Mandrake provide there distro on the web so if
you want to update it you can just download the distro and select update on
the installer. They also provide security updates which is more than some
places. That is support.

I'm trying to do a cooker install via network. It doesn't appear this
matters though because I get the same results if I use the hd.img,
cdrom.img, or the network.img. The installation fails at the point
where the install program tries to detect the hard drive. Below is the

Hello all.
Is it safe to run cooker presently? I have a well-functioning 7.2 system, but
more and more packages in contrib seems to require newer versions of libc++
etc. and I wondered if it works if I upgrade? how well does gcc 2.96 work?
Please tell me if it is safe.
Best regards

I would certainly be ready to part with my hard earned shekels
for a service such as Neal is suggesting, however it would be
even better if such a service also included fixes for "non security"
bugs found after the product release, and not just more "interesting"
versions.
