Re: Mandrake 10.1 patch resubmission

Yeah, I mentioned that to Mark off-list.

You're right, of course.   The right thing to do is look for an 
/etc/mandrakelinux-release, and then only search for 
/etc/mandrake-release if the first file is not found.  But for the 
moment I wanted to change it only a little.  I promise to send another 
patch before 10.2 is out :)
