Some cooker installation problems:
(1) dumpkeys failed in perl-install/keyboard.pm: 217
dumpkeys is nowhere to be found in mkdinst.
(2) Perl is giving warnings about setting locale failed:
LANGUAGE=en_US:en
LC_ALL=en
LANG=en
when the locale Mandrake/mdkinst/usr/share/locale/en _is_ on the CD;
whats happening here?
(3) I'm installing on a Compaq Presario, with Compaq's 'interesting' BIOS.
The install process picks up on the psaux mouse, the mouse doesn't
(normally)
work on the FB X driver. Sometimes it does, if I've come from another
envrionment
that has set the mouse,etc properly (eg I've warm booted from Windows).
Once the OS is up, changing to the SVGA X driver normally fixes
things, but..
I cant run the installer properly without a working mouse!
Solutions:
(a) fix the FB X driver
(b) Add keyboard shortcuts to the graphic installer;
particularly
at the partition configuration stage. (Try using it without
a mouse
to see the problem).
