Hi linux-crypto, There is going to be a local Linux install party this weekend. Going with the laptops and some empty HDDs. I have some leftover 6GB, 8GB, and maybe 12GB drives from previous upgrades. Some of the drives have all partitions removed, one still has an empty DOS partition. Mandrake 9.0 should be able to handle these. Sink or swim, that is the question. XP crashed on me today, video all screwed up, thought I would never get it shut down correctly. After 35 years of practice, and such large resources how is it possible to build such junk? regards, Earl newbie - Linux-crypto: cryptography in and on the Linux system Archive: http://mail.nl.linux.org/linux-crypto/
