Hi All,
Is it me or are there problems in Mandrake 10.0, apart from Kernel 2.6
upsetting the MBR? I've just done a second new install forcing it to use
Kernel 2.4 after the first one seemed to have a bug with Kmail, it shut down
as soon as you tried to read your mail. In this second install Kmail works
OK but when I select shutdown from the logout menu the system does not power
down. If I do a 'shutdown -h now' from a terminal it shuts down correctly.
I assume this is a problem with KDE 3.2, any one any ideas before I bin
Mandrake altogether and try another distribution.
Another problem with this install is its ability to lose the mouse after
shutdown, I keep having to re-run the config tool on boot up. Perhaps
Windows isn't so bad after all :-)
Bob
