Hi, if I could get the Mandrake source tree to build without errors I would. Well, I guess propriatary wasn't the right word. What I really should have said is Mandrake only enhancements such as drivers, processor optimization, and all sorts of other things. However, Mandrake comes with some pretty cool stuff. I would be happy to try and make a talking Mandrake distribution with someones guidance. ----- Original Message ----- From: William F.
