*sniff, sniff* I have mandrake on my box, and all it does is choke whenI
try to run Tux Racer. I eventually gave up and uninstalled it.

If anyone knows why, I'd be thrilled to actually play TR - when I tried
to run it, it brought up the screen, but acted as if it had to bring up
every frame one ...... at ....... a ....... time ..... only .......
slower......

I have a Hrm. Maybe that's my problem. I have a Stealth III S540, and
harddrake says I have an S3 Savage. Inneresting...
