I just realised

 

I specified (ish)

/ 500

/swap 400

/usr 4000

/var 1000

/home 8500

 

what I've got is

/ 5000

/ swap 128

/home 8000

and a bit ??

 

how srange is that! Lets hope its lack of familiarity and not a serious problem.

I've even got sound working so I'm gonna leave it in peace.

everything is as i specified, i only kept my home and media partitions unformated to preserve the data.

My other computer is ok as well.

Hmm very strange, have you tried burning to iso's and install from cd yet?

 

I wonder when they are going to put some info on the 9.1 errata page!

http://www.mandrake-linux.com/en/91errata.php3 - is empty still.

 

My systems seem to be running great, DVD's play fine which apparantly some people have been having problems with.

I am really seriously looking at the next release of Debian or EvilEntity (if they are for real).

 

I've played with Debian, and absolutely could not get ADSL without recompiling the kernel.

 

Libranet is IMO the way to go for Debian like system. Although I couldn't get ADSL there either I know people in the UK who have.

 

I've just finished a couple of days with Slackware people who rave about it... WHY?

 

I did get everything I wanted to work.

BUT it did have some stability issues and it's implementation of KDE 3.1 was a little shakey. pkgtool was quite good but I don't know that it was any better than rpm_dependency_hell it certainly threw me a few wobblers.

 

If mandrake folds I might try Lycoris, if that doesn't suit I'll head to Libranet.
