Pzatch Posted May 9, 2004 Report Share Posted May 9, 2004 (edited) Pintos were never boring. Just wait a while and something will 'light your fire' about them. I know a wrecking yard near me that has one. I was thinking of getting it a fixing it up as a hot rod road racer.

xanas3712 Posted May 10, 2004 Report Share Posted May 10, 2004 slackware doesn't stall for me and mandrake did on several things. So I prefer it for some things. At the same time mandrake did a very good job of detecting my hardware and 3d accel was simple to get working. So they both have their advantages...

zero0w Posted May 14, 2004 Report Share Posted May 14, 2004 May I ask, is Mandrake 10 Official better than 9.2 in your fair assessment? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gowator Posted May 14, 2004 Report Share Posted May 14, 2004 zero0w :: Overall yep. In general..... 9.2 SUCKED bigtime for me. It didnt like ANY of my hardware and it was too much work recompiling kernels to even get it working with my hardware, but the install worked first time .... (just no sound or network)+ enterprise kernel and incompatibility wityh that and nforce.... (on one machine) 10CE. Install Wouldnt boot just locked the 2 PC's i tried it on.... but Id installed it on littlegorsebush's the other week so I needed to install it to support..... So even though I had it on DVD I had to download the ISO for CD2.... this booted first time (CD1 won't) then i put in the DVD and it finished. The average user would hqave given up on the "LI" prompt.... (as far as CD1 or the DVD got) Once it was installed..... Its was great...forcedeth driver for the nforce... 2.6 kernel is great .... only problem is the sound (crackly) and X keeps crashing when using Xv apps or Opera. Other than that.... its really cool. However ... my experience is if a release works for you well and good, 9.2 was a diaster for me. I simply stopped using Mandrake until I tried 10. Its hardware dependant so my advice....backup and try SoulSe.... make a backup of Gentoo and try it.... if it works fine if not restore and wait till 10.1..... (unkless you have LOTS of spare time) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aRTee Posted May 14, 2004 Report Share Posted May 14, 2004 Related to the subject of this topic, have a look here: http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,1759,1585688,00.asp which I found through here: http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,1759,1585570,00.asp via pclo: http://www.pclinuxonline.com/modules.php?n...rticle&sid=8889 and please note this: CON: YAST's Windows partition resize feature prevented us from booting back into Windows. Hmm, seems some others have problems also.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
