[SLUG] Mandrake 9

2002-10-28 Thread Andrewd
OK, I have picked up my ACP mag with v9 on it, I am currently running v8.2, with everything working eg burner, sound, OOv1 etc, is there any reason why I should upgrade to v9 (besides that I can and I don't really want to create a third partition to test it on), is there any compelling reason?

Mandrake 8.2 has Gnome 1.4 which is slower (esp Nautilus) and more buggy than Gnome 2.0. For this reason alone I'd upgrade (if you use Gnome) Gnome 2 is a much better/faster desktop. Evo goes from 1.0.2 to 1.0.8. 9.0 also has KDE 3.0 another good reason. If you just use console then not so many

Good question. I got the APC mag with Mandrake 9.0 but instead of upgrading from my Mandrake 8.1 system I just backed up my files and installed a new copy...but that doesn't mean everything went perfectly. After the install i found that for some unknown reason the installer had installed

Dear list, I had OO installed on Mandrake 8.2, after upgrading to Mandrake 9.0 I had two copies of OO installed. One in my home directory and the other in usual place. I removed the copy in my home directory as I needed the space. Afterwards I can start OO but can not save files. As soon as

Richard, these are suggestions rather than answers, as I am not using Mandrake so am speculating. First, you may want to have a look at your OO installation permissions. If it is owned by root, you'll be able to run the application, but (I hope) you won't have permission to write to root-owned
