Ok, I did an hd install from what was the latest available at rpmfind.net @
1700 (GMT) yesterday.
System configuration:
P-200, 96MB, 6.4 GB, ISA v.90 Modem (PNP features disabled), ESS1868
sound, 3dfx Voodoo 3 2000 PCI (16 MB), Creative 4224E CD-RW, Hitachi 8x CD-ROM
1) If in time configuration, if I select America/Los Angeles, I am not
asked if my hardware clock is set to GMT, but I am if I Select US/Pacific.
2) X is now broken :(. While the 12/21 snapshot gives me a working X
server, the latest provides a white border around a field of wavy blue
lines and hangs during the server test. I let it sit there for half an
hour hoping it would straighten out.
3) Ok, boot into runlevel 3. muck around a bit restoring various config
files (and X still doesn't work after restoring my XF86config), prepare to
shutdown and am informed:
Shutdown: No authorized users logged in.
What?!? Check /etc/shutdown.allow and it contains all authorized
users. Explicit: shutdown -a now allows the shutdown, but dumps into
runlevel 1. Must type init 0 to shutdown the system.
4) On another install to a similarly equipped system (using an onboard
CL-5446 in place of the Voodoo and lacking a CD-RW, but otherwise the
same), Lothar is still choking on the sound card. Reports device or
resource busy when I try to test the card. sndconfig plays test sounds as
well as can be expected for the card. But, at least I had X.
