Maybe a bit late but when installing betas, I normally would recommend
a clean one as a starter...
And Mandrake isnt Redhat....
You probably find if you DO want to run mandrake you better stick it
on a spare box to see what it does, clean instead of overwriting
Redhat and get a Hash with unknown constituents...
In the end you have gueranteed more problems...
