I would argue the point about half the packages not
working, but I also have a problem with laptop
installation. Using the pcmcia.img boot disk worked as
desired, allowing installation of Mandrake, but I can't
access the network on reboot. Also, XFree86 configuration
does not work with the 800x600 (nor 1024x768 set at a
resolution of 800x600) flat panel display settings, though
I can get the 800x600 setting to work using the interlaced
1024x768@87 monitor setting.
