only thing that would cause this, is if Linux activated UDMA/66 (or 100) on a
UDMA capable drive that was only working at UDMA/33 or below under
winblows.
Certain drives, once set to UDMA/66
continue to attempt to operate in this mode, even through a power
off.

James,
Before you remove the scripts, change portmap from "auto" starting on
bootup, to manual start. This will make sure you aren't running portmap,
and hence won't have any problems when shutting down (since if it isn't
running, linux will not try to stop it.)

Nevertheless, Mandrake tries to be as Red Hat compatible as is practicable.
They claim over 90% compatibility with Red Hat packages. This can be useful,
since most RPMs are built for Red Hat.
