maybe instal 9.0 and upgrade to cooker?
That's not a bad idea - thanks.
mandrake is permanent beta.
I'd agree it favours features over stability. By the time the problems are
ironed out, out comes a new version!
btw, big thanks to Thac for his rpms.
He (?) has done a great job of packaging audio applications for Mandrake,
better than Mandrakesoft itself.
Cheers
