I had got feed up with RH 8.0 being somewhat broken (things not working or 
working in a non-standard way) so I decided to try Mandrake  as the other 
major RPM base distro.

It worked quite well until I tried to fix the odd few things, such as It 
wouldn't turn of the system when shutdown with a poweroff, so I installed the

The problem occured just after the root filesystem was re-mounted r/w and at 
a stage where booting single user still caused a reset.  Having reached the 
stage where the only way to fix the problem was a re-install I decided to 
switch to debian.
