I didn't realise Mandriva was a commercialised in the way it is, fair enough though. Only downside is that it detects my usb wifi dongle as a scanner, which might be a pain as running a cable downstairs will be a nightmare and I don't fancy the process, I like .deb packages :D - I'm going to grab debian in a mo and try that as I know how to get wifi going under ubuntu so I'm hoping it'll be a similar process. -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/linux_adm/list-faq.html
