 I recently switched from Mandrake 9.0 to woody, because of many reasons,
mostly because mandrake was getting slower than molasses in winter. I've run
across some things I'm not used to and was wondering how to adjust them to my
taste. First, I know that to see the boot-menu I have to hit shift, which I
did not have to do in mandrake, as long as I had either
install=/boot/boot-menu.b in lilo, or I had it linked (boot -> boot-menu.b).
Can I get it to go to the menu without the need to shift?

 Second, I used to use drakfont to import my windows fonts to mandrake and
they were useable by all applications. Defoma does not seem to provide this,
or if it does, I am unable to understand the working as opposed to the
one-click "get windows fonts" I am currently used to.

 Third, under kde, if i click the use anti-aliased font and icons box, it
leaves me with a set of about ten fonts on my next login to kde. Under the
old system it was automatically checked and I had use of all fonts whether
the box was checked or not. Have I just been misled by mandrake, or is my
ignorance of what anti-aliasing does impede me from making correct choices?

Please forgive the long mail and expect more questions, as I had no idea
until now the extent of the hand-holding that was being done to me.
