  1. Don't know about the Totem issue but I can say that the sources you are try to install from have been moved. It appears that the Cooker Tree (Mandrake-Devel) has been moved to make way for 10.0 Final/Official/Whatever.................
  2. Just what I thought.........................Thanks for the "scoop" scoopy ;-)
  3. That's a no-go.....................only alpha and PPC :-(
  4. huh...OK......I was able to pull some packages from mirrors.secsup.org tree last night. Thanks for the link, I'll give it a gander.
  5. Does it appear that 10 CE is about to go "Official"? I cannot find the Mandrake-Devel on any mirrors at all........................................
  6. vpkb........Make sure that your sound is not muted or the volume is all the way down. More than likely, the PCM slider is all the way down.......
  7. Check your host file..............I had to rem out the entries I had in order get Evolution to send on Slackware 9.1 with Dropline Gnome. It's worth a shot..........
  8. I have used Mandy since 7.2 and must say that 10 CE is by far the "best out of the blocks". I would have to attribute it to the new 2.6 kernel though. I have been updating with Cooker and all is well to this point. I am now using the 2.6.3-7 kernel and it getting along extremely well with my ASUS A7N8X-E Deluxe Mobo ;-)
  9. It is true, I watched and interview with Steve Ballmer (monkey dance boy) and the CEO of Sun, Steve Cavuto, I think, last night on MSNBC. Sun intends on pursuing thier "Java Desktop" and "Project Looking Glass". We"ll just have to wait and see what happens with this.
  10. I have been messing with Mandrake since 7.2 release off and on. The one thing that keeps me from purchasing directly from them and "club" membership is becasue all of the folly I have seen go on over the years with Mandrake's poor customer service. I am in a position to where I can bundle Mandrake with a new PC (OEM Sysyem Builder) but I hesitate due to the issues I have seen in the past, i.e., unanswered e-mails, Mandrake-Expert's cryptic solutions, etc........ Anyone know of a good distro for an OEM System Builder to bundle and receive proper support??
  11. Gnome.............I have played with KDE but I always end up going back to Gnome. Don't flame me but KDE just feels and looks like a box of crayons.
  12. I just installed MDK 10 today and it went pretty flawlessly. My rig is an XP 2600+, (2) 512MB DDR 266, Asus A7N8XE-Deluxe, Nvidia GeForce MX 440, (1) Maxtor 40GB, (1) Maxtor 80GB and (2) Seagate SATA 80GB HDD's. What surprised me the most was being able to get the Marvell LAN Gigabit NIC up and running, had a helluva time trying to get it to work with Slack 9.1 2.4.25 kernel. Now if I could only get my external USB HDD to work..........................So far I love the 2.6.3-4 kernel
