Laptop hardware functionality
Out of curiosity, have you been able to get all the hardware on the laptop working?
I have an Acer laptop and I am sticking with mandrake 9.2 for many related reasons. I have almost everything working; modem, graphics, GL acceleration, bluetooth usb device, network chipset, everything but ACPI.
I am not moving to 2.6 or mandrake 10 for that simple reason; don't want to have to get everything working again.

Mandrake move 2 is on the way
the new Mandrake move is built on MDK 10 and uses a 2.6 kernel, you can test with it to see how well things will work.
and in case you ever need to upgrade because of other packages, you can always retain your old kernel with all its configs.
i could get the PCMCIA networ
i could get the PCMCIA network and modem cards to work out of the box but i couldn't get the soft modem (3com something) to work at all other than that it works great

Out of curiosity, what kind of laptop precisely? And what does lspci tell you about the modem?
