  1. > Please THINK. Thank you.

     

    Ah well, that does change the fact that Mdk is not supporting the latest as it used to be.

     

    Its release schedule in March and September is what makes it will miss X.org latest release (around the same time or a little earlier), as well as the latest GNOME release.

     

    Perhaps it is more stable than Fedora (that I'll need to verify it sometime), but Mandrake used to be the latest and greatest. Now it's not. The translation issue is understandable, but Mdk's release schedule makes it always later than Fedora (and even SuSE) to adopt the latest release of various packages (X.org, GNOME).

  2. Well Mandrake 10.1 missed KDE 3.3 and X.org R6.8...

     

    Mandrake used to be latest and greatest but it seems Fedora is more entitled to that term now.

     

    However, I know for a fact that the CJK input is vastly improved with m17n and a new XIM server SCIM, you can change the input language (eg. from Japanese to Chinese) on the fly with this new release!

  3. The first preview release of Firefox 1.0 is finally available:

    Three large new features — Live Bookmarks, the Find bar and a new plugin installer — have landed since 0.9, along with a host of critical bugfixes.

    As always you can grab it at the official page.

     

    Along with this first preview release is the launch of a series of marketing plan to promote Firefox to end users, start with the marketing website Spread Firefox. Spread Firefox to people you know! :D

     

     

    In addition, Thunderbird 0.8 and Mozilla 1.7.3 released with update and fixes:

  4. It is never faster to ask on a forum and wait for an answer than to google or search the forum. A n00b is diff. They don't even know what to search for, they just need help.

     

    I contested whether it's really faster to search, but since you know the topic well it must be faster for you then.

     

    As for your point on 3000 hours online, I think it is just an individual case.

     

    The internet is full of repeating questions and answers on similar topic, like Gowator said it is sometimes better to help out each other. I probably won't mind answering repetitive questions if I know that topic well. Btw, I did search a bit but I thought I will get more straightforward answer with a post.

     

    Again thanks for the help from idud and Gowator.

  5. Yes, use Mdk boot CD (Installation CD1) and then press F1 (maybe other, I forgot :P) to enter some option and type rescue.

     

    There will be a simple user interface that can be use to restore bootloader. You can even mount your Mdk root partition (/) to add some boot option to lilo.conf, and restore the bootloader after that.

     

    Hope this help.

     

    Thanks. :D

    I'll try it.

  6. I have a question, how can I restore LILO (at the boot sector I suppose), after re-installing Windows XP (I know... :P it's only for my sister's computer)?

     

    Do I need to backup it on a floppy disk or something?

    Can it be done just by booting a Mandrake bootCD and enter some commands?

     

    Any suggestion is appreciated.

  7. I also heard there are report of random lockups with certain chipset.

    In any case my experience with nVidia driver is stable 95% of the time.

     

    Although there were occassional glitches that required re-installation of the driver sometimes.
