Linux Distro Chooser

[Josef Lowder]

I'm glad to hear that everything works for you guys. 
I am having a horrendous time trying to get everything 
to work on my new Mandriva 2006 install.  I do believe 
that it has the potential to be excellent, but there are many 
really annoying issues. 

#1 - it is painfully slow on my dialup internet connections, 
	as much as three to four times slower than the way 
	my old Mandrake 8.1 system works and a Knoppix 
	liveCD works 2 to 3 times faster than my old 8.1 box. 
	So, I know that I should be having improved speed, 
	not this horrendously slow speed. 

#2 - The Kwallet thing is driving me nuts and I can't find 
	any way to edit or modify it (or kill it). 

#3. I can't access my other partitions from the Mandriva 
	boot.  I also have Mepis and Xandros installed and 
	with either of them or with the Knoppix LiveCD, I can 
	access all the other partitions on my system, but 
	with this new Mandriva 2006 installation, none of the 
	other partitions show up in /mnt and I can't find any 
	way to mount them. 

Lots of other annoying problems, i.e. with the new Kmail, 
and various other things. Nuisance icons in Kmail and other 
apps that I can't get rid of.
