*** To start with I made a mistake; it's the Mandrake 6.1 not the 6.0.
What I did was try to install it on a Mandrake system in order to run Win
applications. Since I hate my self for not having noted the error message
I'll repeat the experiment and post the exact results Friday. In the mean
time I'll try it out on a Mandrake 6.0 and RH5.2 system to see what's
happening there.
Cheers!
