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.

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?

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.

Supermount isn't enabled?  You shouldn't need to mount CD's at all.

If you have keymaps, certainly pass them on.  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.  I did add a large
nummber of mac keymaps, but you won;t see them available in those gui
tools,

People always ask me this, but I really have no idea.  I spend most of my
time trying to get the stuff built and uploaded, and don't really go
around chacking which mirrors are up to date etc.
