Mandrake 8.1 problem

Sun Jan 20 22:09:28 EST 2002

The GPL wouldn't allow that, so I'm pretty sure that Mandrake doesn't make 
proprietary changes to the kernel.  I imagine that Mandrake patches their 
version of the kernel in order to support extra hardware much as RedHat 
does.  It's a shame that you didn't stick with it and post Speakup enabled 
MDK RPMs for those wishing to try out that distro.
