[LUG] Mandrake 8.2
New 20GB secondary HD, 6 shiny disks from Linux emporium.... first
impressions yup its
mandrake.
Took 3 expert installs to get it running sweet.
1st attempt upgrade from 8.1 to 8.2 reiser JFS (worked but
flawed,screwed with CUP's and fluffed boot up tho it did make it to KDE
with a little push)
2nd attempt install Ext3 JFS installed but noticed some really big
chunks not installed by default namely if you ever need to compile a tar
file ;) you probably catch my drift, and trying to install the packages
after installation won't cure the woe's (nvidia gfx card uses beware!)
3rd attempt install reiser JFS installing kernel source and as many
libraries and useful components as i could think of,yup not too bad
Like's mandrake's read only access to NTFS partitions access to me XP is
a biggy and both RH and Suse require tweaking/kernel compiles to achieve
that.
Do not like setting up me Nvidia Card! this was a nightmare
Bottom line 8/10 not much over ver8.1but looks slightly more polished
once tweaked.
Suse 8.0 and kde3 ... sounds inviting!
