[NTLUG:Discuss] mandrake 8.0

[Bug Hunter]

  It is heavily reminiscent of 7.2.  The Lilo splash screen is prettier.
Some things don't set up right, but otherwise it appears to be very much
like 7.2.  I'll have to use it for a while to be certain.

  I had great troubles setting it up with an ET4000/w32p card.  It could
not recognize that card for anything.  I finally put in a Genoa card (S3)
and it likes that better.

  Mandrake 8.0 _will_ _not_ install on some older equipment with buggy
UDMA controllers.  It locks the IDE bus too much.  It is a requirement
that you have fairly recent BIOS/MB combinations.  This is from several
tries on an older 90Mhz pentium.

  Mandrake 7.2, on the other hand, installed just fine.
