However, watching F9 attempt to run I saw some very long pauses as before, and maybe some clue as to the problem. I saw that it said it was running an eeepc kernel. Maybe both F9 and Mandriva were set up with kernels specific to the eeepc? F9 did actually manage to bring up a desktop eventually, so I thought I would try updating, to get a newer kernel. It ran into the problem of the repos and signatures being changed. No matter. I'll attach a usb drive and do a clean install when I have time. Maybe I'll even try installing onto the stick from this laptop, to see whether that can handle the change in hardware. Hmmm.... Anne
