Hi Adam, It is recommended by the gurus that you don't upgrade your kernel unless you have to. I did not listen, and ran into lots of problems. 1. The printer port disappeared (you have to find an answer to that in the newsgroups). 2. Problems with pppd unexpectedly dying at Internet dialup (I h

Hello! I had the same problem. At the end all I did was I reinstalled all the packages I downloaded from Mandrake and it worked. Get 2.2.5 from their site. Beware of problems with printing, as the parralel ports must be set manually. Read the parport.txt and lpd.text (or something like that). If
