This is a huge problem--if you want to install as a dual boot system, the installer wipes out the MBR without asking, forcing you to have to restore it. Even the expert install wipes the MBR. Give me the choice before you do it!!
Damn does it still do this? This deserves a Mandrake what the hell are you doing? Fix this before anything else you knitwits.
Sorry they deserve that.
Seriously all I like about Mandrake is the Galaxy Widgets for KDE where can I get these for redhat/fedora?
Other things that sound good is the stuff they do with prelinking and the preemptive kernel.
But IMHO about desktop polish they should take the approach Lindows has by having a minimal KDE desktop install for disc1 only with a minimum set of apps that make it a complete desktop, possibly have GNOME as an alternative. That it, nothing more.
Disc2 and Disc3 is the rest if someone choooses to install it.
They don't do this because they are trying to make the DVD set look more attractive to people who don't want to change CD's.
