Too bad. There always are some difficult ones out there. But X works on the installed system? Can you send me the XF86Config-4 that was setup? Text install seems to have taken a step backwards from the code in 8.0. I don't think there's much I'm going to be able to do about it. > also TEST of Xserver failed (libc++ cant be found!!!!!!!!!) but after > reboot all was ok. Odd, I don't know why a different lib would be required for you that wasn't called when I did an install and tested X. I don't even currently have any libc++ installed on my running system. Can you send me ddebug.log under root's dir? > Powerbook special keys are not understood so for instance sound > level cant be modify from the keyboard. Special software is required to enable this. I believe Ben Reser has something packaged up on his site. I'll see if I can get it into the final ISOs, but I can't really add new software to main in the distribution. > By default only root can mount cdrom....mmmm...not a good thing in a > easy-is-my-name distribution like Mandrake. > > Supermount isn't enabled?

Personally I have no experience with non-US keyboards, so I wouldn't know a good one from a bad one. By default we use linux keycodes, not mac ones, which enables the drak and kde keyboard selectors to actually work.
