Mandrake's X-based, including the installation. X windows is not accessible to us yet, and from what I can gather from mandrake's documentation, most of the configuration tools are also X based, with the exception of linuxconf. If you or your friend want a Red Hat like distro, why not use the real thing? Since X is not accessible yet, speakup on a mandrake disk won't do you a bit of good. Every version of mandrake from 7.0 and above has gone almost totally graphical. I used mandrake 6.0 for a time, at that time it was almost indistinguishable from red hat. The only thing that did distinguish it from Red Hat were the pentium optimizations, which caused serious instabilities on my machine. On Thu, 7 Dec 2000, Thomas Ward wrote: > Hello, Kirk and list.
