Hi all,

I'm going to be at the meeting tonight, just thought i'd point that out.

Now, a few questions:

1) I've been using Mandrake 6.0, but recently got Corel (based on Debian) as a
gift. The Deluxe box is great, it comes with all sorts of neat little apps. I
installed it on what used to be my Windows partition(Win9x is gone for good),
and everything got installed nicely(they're install script is prettier than
anything else i've seen...). But when I start X (it uses kdm/kde by default),
all of the normal text is replaced with black boxes, and some of the graphics,
too. It works fine under Mandrake, so I copied my Mandrake XF86Config file
over, but still no luck.

One of the biggest problems I noticed was the lack of the Xconfigurator. It
has xf86setup, but I like the configurator more. Any suggestions on getting
this to work?

2) Just curious, but is there a way to get .deb packages to work under
Mandrake? Nothing really important, just applications and stuff.

3) Ack, I had another question too. Can't think of it now though. Oh well.

Phil
