Subject: Interesting solution for existing Linux users, desperate to try Mandrake.

If you're an existing Linux user, and you have a copy of Red Hat floating around, if you install RH 6.0, and then 'upgrade' to Mandrake 6.1, it works without any problems.
Bit of a messy workaround, but it should help out those of you who are hardened Penguin drivers!
