Mandriva, Mandrake, Lycoris I want to start off by saying that MandrakeMove is an incredible distribution and I am going to focus on some rather particular points in this review. My hope is to make the community aware of some of the outstanding issues with running MandrakeMove and not to discredit the countless hours Mandrake employees spent on making such a polished product. We all want Linux to succeed and that can only be accomplished by continuing to test, report and ask why or why not? The lifecycle of linux is like an organism, it has to keep breathing to stay alive.

Problem with X
by Kevin on Sun 18th Jan 2004 23:49 UTC

I'm using a KVM switch since space is at a premium for me. It seems that live cd distros have a hard time configuring X in those conditions : both MandrakeMove and Damn Small Linux stay in command line mode, complaining about an unknown monitor; Knoppix does better but runs at a minimum resolution. The mouse and the keyboard work fine.
