I just downloaded the latest Mandrake 10.1 and am getting ready to burn the CDs to upgrade my system.

Now if all goes well, then I will be up and running again in a couple of hours.

But just in case, if you don't hear from me, you can assume that I am being held against my will by the evil forces of installation software, and please saddle up tech support to mount a rescue mission.

I'm able to connect to the server again, but my PC is not yet where I need/want it to be. I'm going to give it another whirl over the weekend.

Okay, something has gone horribly awry with my PC, and I'm not sure where exactly.

I hooked up an Epson CX6400 printer to it, and I've discovered that Mandrake 10.1 supports it fully, so I tried to install. The sticking point was that I didn't even get past burning the ISOs to CD...got a "no disk/wrong disk" error...and I've burned CDs on my box without a hitch before. No idea what's changed since. Anyway, now when I try to mount the CD, only the root user can read it. I'm not playing JA logged in as root user, so I might be out of the action for a few more days than I thought I would be. I can still be contacted via AIM or e-mail.
