If you want bells and whistles and an interface similar to HomeSite,

just want to write HTML with some basic support, including Weblint to

Can I upgrad my mandrake without rebooting from the CD I means upgrade from

or 7.1 to 7.2 from within 7.0
Newer machines have the CD second in the boot chain after the floppy.
Try just putting the CD in and reboot - RH and Mandrake CD's are
bootable. Worked for me.
