Hi, I have a PC with 2 x 40 Go disks, one and half are used with Redhat 9, and I have 20 Go left unformatted on my second one. My Redhat 9 is in production, so I must take care not to loose it ! Is there any risk to install Mandrake 9.2 using Drakx with "Use Free space" option, or is it better to use manual partitioning ? Will Mandrakel "see" my RH grub.conf file and add automatically mandrake inside... or do I have to save it before ? Any experience or any try or information, please just drop a message. Thanks by advance for your precious help. Philippe, Chiangmai, Thailand.

What about OpenOffice Writer with French disctionnary. "Cela semble un excellent choix, non ?"

After installing apt, you must install synaptic rpm. It will maybe ask you for another library. When this is done, you should have a Synaptic icon in your menu SystemTools. Launch synaptic, and this will be OK. If not, lauch synaptic (root) Working with synaptic gui, is much moer confortable than apt command line ;-) Good luck. Philippe

Go on http://www.nongnu.org/synaptic/ . Install Synaptic. Then install xine. It will work like a charm . ;-) Philippe
