Hi,
I have a problem of having my Laptop-PC, powers-off suddenly
after using my PC every 10-40 minutes. It only happens recently,
after using Mdk 10.1 for 4 months.
BTW, I am using Dell Inspiron 5100 - 2.8GHz, Pentium 4, RAM 512Mb.
My chkconfig shows following ACPI setting message:
acpid
Does anyone have a recommendation for a reliable, inexpensive source of
replacement laptop batteries?
TIA

Ditto, here. 9.1 worked well and 9.2 is problem free (except for the
need to download the kernel-source, which is 40+ megs and the need to
get the update-db bugfixes--absolutely mandatory). If you have a
Lucent chipped winmodem that will work with the 2.4 kernel, too.

If only choosing from Mandrake 9.1 or 10, I prefer 10. It's very easy to
install (my experience is about 20 minutes for clean installation, more than
1 hour for updating). Basically there is no configuration problem and it's
very to use. Some guy said 10 is more like a windows.

My one is Compaq presario 2815. I have run Mandrake 9.1 for about one year
