-> I'll go even further and say that I hope it never gets as desktop-oriented as

 I just did the "Run Spot Run" install of Mandrake 9.2 on a HD last
night. Still not for me apparently. OF course first I should say I
rarely look at Docs. That said I had tough time getting the Printer
Installed. I don't understand why that could not have been included in
the automated portition of the install. And I had soem trouble getting
the modem set up. Finaly found where I had to go to Root and do it.
Installed fine and the Test Dial in to my ISP worked great.
Rebotted and guess what. I could find NO place to make it dial in when I
called up the Browser. Even the buttons to call up the Mandrake Web
sites wouldn't do it.
