Installation of Mandrake 10.1 did not go well. The first thing I noticed was that the mouse did not work during the install. I should have stopped then After installation of the second CD the system frooze and I had to force a reboot. After reboot I could not login to KDE. However, I could fix the installation be a second install in text mode. My wireless Microsoft mouse is still not working. Initially there was also a problem with my USB Epson CX3100 printer. However after rebooting with printer on, it was recognizes and is working now. -- John Zoetebier Web site: http://www.transparent.co.nz
