The mailing list subscription details are here: http://www.mandrakelinux.com/en/flists.php3 If you don't want to go through the subscribe, post, wait, repost, wait, get an answer, unsubscribe bit, you can search their list archives at: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=mandrake-expert&r=1&w=2 http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=mandrake-newbie&r=1&w=2 You could also try here: http://forum.mandrakeclub.com/ (Some of the stuff there is available to non-club members.) FWIW, Mandrake 9.0 is 2 years old -- there have been three versions since then, and the release of 10.1 is scheduled for next month, which leads me to wonder about the status of utf8 support in 9.0. -- cmg
