===Agreed.  I do like how they have Bastille installed as well.  Would 
probably have been a good thing if they mentioned that it was there to those 
that did not know about it..(ie. new users).  

===Apparently, my problems with the CD drive went away when I placed it in a 
different machine...and it seems that the problems I had may not be even 
Linux or Windows caused.  A few of my friends had similar problems to mine 
with the CD rom....and we may have tracked it down to a boot-sector virus 
that activates when the CD rom is run on boot....

===Which would explain all the really odd problems, such as my CD rom being 
relabeled into gobldygook sludge, that my cd was the "wrong one" when I tried 
to do an update on that computer.....etc.

===So what I thought was a weird thing between Mandrake and Windows is not 
apparent on this machine....and I am now once again happy with my Mandrake 
8.0.
