Buchan,
did I mention that using a static address is a workaround for this problem?
I added it to the bugreport in the anthill, but perhaps not in the bugzilla
database
I'm sure this
the
distribution you always have the most uptodate packages.
Of course sometimes a CD is faster than an internet connection and sometimes
it's not possible (or too difficult) to create a local mirror if you have a
lot of machines to update (lame excuse, I know, but it might help newbies ;-)
Cheers
Simon

A lot of obvious faults are in 9.2 that should have been easy to avoid
(don't ask me how, but I'm pretty sure of it). This is a good time for
Mandrake to start thinking about how to improve the Q&A process, don't
demotivate volunteer helpers on whom you depend for manpower.

sends it to the
tester who then tests it and checks whether something breaks. If it's ok,
the maintainer uploads it to cooker for the rest of the labrats to have a go
at it!
It's just a thought ;-)

in the amount of updates which will be
released by Mandrake during the lifetime of 9.2/9.1/9.0. But most
importantly, the next release should be checked for regressions w.r.t. these
bugs. People tend to give up when a pet peeve is not fixed after a while.
Speaking of pet peeves, constant printing problems is one of mine (PDF
files, OpenOffice, Crossover Office, etc...) ;-)

I like mandrake's linux, so I appreciate all the work everyone puts into it
and I understand that everyone's time is limited, including mandrakesoft's.
In order for us to focus on helping mdk where it will be most visible and

It still needs to be tested, though, that's why a RC3 would be necessary.

After every release people can evaluate whether a set of
measures was sufficient or too strict and they can be adjusted. This is a
process called "Engineering", which is known to result in quality after a
