[Cooker] Bugs/problems found on Mandrake 7.0 for USparc

[Olivier Bourdon - Sun Microsystems]

Text mode does not work both on local screen nor
on terminal concentrator if machine console
redirected to ttya or ttyb

Annoyance:
Menu item selection via arrow keys does not cycle
ie: when you are on the first item on screen, back-arrow
should cycle to last item. Idem for last item and forward-arrow

Boot over local CDROM does not work even if graphical console
shows that CD-ROM drive has been found
Vendor Toshiba Model XM-5401TASUN4XCD Rev 1036

CDROM does not seem to be readable by Solaris machines
Could be usefull so that CD-rom contents be copy-enabled
to hard drive/Solaris partition

If boot over NFS and Mandrake directory present but empty,
the boot process hang without any error
Ie: does not handle the fact that the instimage or mdkinst
sub-directories are not present negative NFS LOOKUP
however it does it properly when the Mandrake top directory is
not present

file runinstall2 not present on CD iso image which prevents boot over NFS
to succeed

Boot over FTP also fails for same reasons

Is it possible to get access to the source code of the USparc
version of Mandrake somewhere

What are the machine configurations this was tested one

Best regards

Olivier
