mh, never seen on my mashine. But I've customized the init script. I
added a line to tell lircd which remote config file it should use.

But let's say the truth. Mandrake is not the most stable distribution.,
init scripts have often failours. But it's the distribution with very

Even better than Suse.

Right, but I still like to use the stable version because I've installed
some special addons. And my config is working and for vdr 1.04.
