Hello,

I am preparing a MandrakeMove review (download edition) for a magazine. I h=
ave
started using the Cd, and have the following questions. Some of them have a=
lready
appeared on this list or previous review, so I'd just like to know if there=
 is
any news
on the subject. It would also be really useful to know what is valid only f=
or one
version of the distro (downloadable vs boxed)

Any feedback is appreciated!

Thanks in advance for your patience!

Ciao,
                           Marco Fioretti

1) Will any USB key work with Mandrake Move?  Are supported models listed
    somewhere online?

2) How much space on the USB key is used to store configuration
    information?

3) Are there any utilities to store on the key some use profiles (something
that, once
    all data are entered, allows the user to just say at the boot prompt:
           dads_home
           sister_home
           university_lab
           dorm_computer

    and have everything connectivity (dial up number, dns, whatever) set up
accordingly?

4) When I booted the Cd it went into US time zone. I was expecting to be as=
ked
"which time
zone are we in this time". Is it something like this planned?

5) during boot the system says "Cups is not started because???". Can't reme=
mber
now the whole
message (writing from another system) but I didn't understand exactly why i=
t was
not being
activated. May I ask it here?

6) Which included docs are *specific* to Mandrake Move?
7) What docs are available and where describing all boot parameters, like t=
he
Knoppix
    cheat sheet? Is this included in the full version?
8) Are there instructions on what to do if the USB drive is not detected du=
ring
boot?
9) should somebody contribute to development, what should he read before su=
bscribing
here and start coding?

10) any plans for the future that you'd like to be mentioned in the review?=
 New
features, etc...

Thanks again!
