[TriLUG] Mandrake 9.2 -> 10.0

[ALFRED JOHNSON]

Well at the last installfest, I had our installers do this exact 
upgrade for me. Unfortunately, several settings such as my modem did 
not survive the upgrade. I don't know whether it was because it was 
upgraded using the web or not. Also several of my favorite Linux 
applications mysteriously disappeared. The upshot is that I still 
haven't gotten my Mandrake system working as well as it used to. Right 
now I wish I'd never done the upgrade.--- Al Johnson.
