My 2cents-I have been trying to get 7.2 to install on a BCM I810P, but it
doesn't seem compatible with Linux. KDE, Gnome, and X have problems with
it.

Don't know if it is like this, but my Windows 98 regularly switches drive
letters on me between my second partition HDD, and my Zip drive, supposed to
be E:. I regularly wind up with the letters reversed, and shortcuts not
working, etc. You might check to see if Windows is calling it something
trying to get back their windows share. Any one with thoughts
or suggestions? Dennis M.

I installed 7.0 on a second hard disc, and the key seems to have been that
there were already Linux partitions on the second hard disc--it was already
ext2. If you establish at least one ext2 partition on the second HD, I
think Mandrake will find it. All the distros I haved tried seem to do it.
The boot loader can't be installed on a partition that goes beyond cylinder
1024. I believe one solution is to make a small boot partition that is at
the very first of the the HD on which Linux is to be installed.

No. I think you can chown the soffice binary to user and it will run as
user. I know I had the same problem in the past and was able to solve it
without a reinstall. Try that first.

Actually, I have stayed on longer than 5 hours, so I'm not sure how they
keep track of your time--by the day or by the month. But it is fairly easy
to get two or three accounts and then switch off from one day to the next
or even the same day.
No reason to pay.

Thanks! I'll be giving it a try and let you know how it flies. There may
be an added complication/ step as the empty partition is mounted at /home
at the moment, but I'll sort that out before I start.
