Hi, Good to see that someone had a good experience with MDK 8.1 on a intel 810. I for one had lots of issues with my CDROM not being recognised till I downloaded the source for 2.4.17 and installed that by hand.
I think that devfsd should be optional till it is thoroughly tested. (I do believe that it reduces the time required to mount and unmount drives, but I might be wrong in my belief) Arnab > ---------- > From: Tom Badran[SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Reply To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Tuesday, January 22, 2002 9:57 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: [expert] mandrake 8.2 > > <<File: message.footer.txt>> > > > What fixes would they be?
