this is not an option. Mind that even in XP you can't log in untill your networking is up, if you are logging on to a domain. But it sure looks 1000 x faster and more smooth. Jos

t come over from Redmond OS, for they don't want a huge manual how to set up a gateway, they want working IM. If you don't care about those guys, you don't care about Mandrake. Jos

willing to prevent reviews from writing "Mandrake 9.2 is no good, it comes with broken software" Mandrake has a nice update feature during install, let's use it, instead of defining what a bugfix is. What is better ? A few extra kB of updates, or a broken distribution ? Jos

s a poor decision of Mandrake not to include this bug-fixed > version. I'm working on it, though it is the first thing I ever did for cooker, so it might take a few days :) IMHO Gaim 0.70 is a must, otherwise there is no need to ship Gaim at all. Jos
