It seems to be a feature of the Mandrake installer that you never get the
same failure twice. However, for a distro to report a fairly fundamental
error with the X card database seems a little odd.

Never mind - the Expert option does what you ask it to, mainly. And letting
it set up XF86 4.0 does away with the X config problems. It would be a nice
system but for the installation niggles.

Oh, and the updates - I downloaded the 'Drake 2.2.16, the update prog
installed the rpm, I rather foolishly rebooted and.....found it didn't
support ReiserFS. AAArrrggghhhh!!!! SuSE got that one right at least :)

Good luck for next week's meeting - Looks like I'll be hiding from the rain
in our tent :(
