well this is when search engines come in handy, check out cnet, cnet, tucows, etc.
you may find some free programs! also some programs you already have may
This brings up something I scratch my head over. Have I just overlooked
it or is there no list of the programs that come with Mandrake
I know what you mean...I'm hoping that some of this is addressed in Mandrake 7.2.
Truth is, as bad as Windoze is, it's spoiled us. Unix has always been
the superior OS but Microsoft knew what problems most people needed
solving and in a standalone environment they did pretty well at
Anyway, CD-RW's are not the same kind of CD hardware in that they 'read'
somewhat differently. In some instances they won't read regular data CD's
because of the formatting. An example of this is a re-writable CD is a
data CD that can only be read by the CD-RW that wrote the CD. A regular

It was not my intention to become part of this silly "is it an operating
system thread" but since you've demonstrated yourself as being one of the
reasonable, and knowledgable folks here I'll comment further.

I don't agree Charles. What's wrong with rpm? Easy to install

Could be it's my stupidity (quite likely) but I find rpm to be foolproof (a
fool like me can't get them to work well). I much prefer to get stuff as

in Linux due to the number of different distros which are available and
their program formats.
Speaking of which, anybody know how to install Corel Word Perfect (Debian)
on Mandrake? Is it possible?

Not really. Any files you use with Linux and be copied to or
read from a DOS formatted floppy. Where this gets flakey is tryin
to do it with ext2 formatted floppies. If you use 'superformat'
to format floppies beyond 1440k (eg, 1992), you need to use DOS
format.
In the several years that
Amen to that. The Linux way is you have control over things
installed and uninstalled. I do not trust anything that
takes over my screen and tells me I have to close all other
applications and ... gasp ... reboot the system.
Something tells me, Phil, that you're not one of the millions of
Yeah, I was implying that. I was also implying that dos is a
better file system to use on floppies, it's more stable, especially
over 1440k, and universally more readable by most systems.
Thanks for the response Tom. If I ever use a floppy it'll be as a DOS
floppy :-)

You'll have to re-set the permissions after retrieving the

Any suggestions?
As I recall, your msg indicated that your man pages were in zip

Charles, I'm the other guy who was asking about getting a PCI modem to

the busy signal even after doing what you suggested (sure do appreciate
you turning me onto "setserial").
