Hi, I am using Mandriva 07 installed from a LFY DVD.It's the free version. I have not used any other distro as yet coz I am still a newbie.
I don't trust LFY CD/DVDs.
This is speculation / knee-jerk reaction.. the OP needs to clearly communicate the symptoms and other observations before we conclude on whether its a rootkit OR bad media.
True. However LFY dvd's are of extremely poor quality. If the install runs behind a gui screen and or the user is a newbie, he is likely to miss errors and wind up with a not so proper install. eg using a file system without the fsck tools.
