[Sderby] Mandrake 10 moan

[Malcolm Neal]

Hi there
 
I have to disagree re Mandrake 10 setup. I did a clean install onto a second hard drive a 30gByte Nikimi and got it to dual boot from my primary 120gByte HD.  The install was totally seamless it installed all I needed ( tho' not a very complex setup as I am pretty much a beginner at Linux) and though I did not set up the broadband or other extrenal connections it has gone very smoothly indeed

	Hi to one & all,
	
	Having recently got Mandrake 10 on the cover of Linux Format - DVD
	version, I have tried installing it both over Mandrake 9.2 & on its own
	but I have now gone back to 9.2 due to the following:
	
	1) I can not seem to set-up my NTL Broardband (which is connected via a
	network card,) I have tried to set it up as per Mandrake 9.2 using the
	Lan setting as well as a Cable setting but it still did not work. Which
	is a bind as I need  my internet connection.
	
	2) My DSC (2770) digital camera does not seem to work with Mandrake 10,
	but Mandrake 9.2 see it as an Argos DC-1510.
	
	Mandrake have also messed up (as far as I am concerned anyway,) they
	have removed the mouse support from the installation set-up, that and
	they have decided to give you an A to Z list of file in the 'Individual'
	file selection, instead off the section by section set-up that Mandrake
	9.2 has.
	
	So it look's as if I am sticking with the version of Mandrake I can use
	for a while!
	
	I've use my email address, (well the one that I signed up to this LUG
	with any way) this time.
