The binary RPM *appears* to be broken. It functions just fine until you
attempt to send mail (not just compose). At that point, it generates an error
execing child process (child returns code 127). I rebuilt from the SRPM and it
functions properly without modification.
As for the install: Saturday night I did an hd install of the current cooker.
The graphical install didn't ask if it was an upgrade (selection
expert/development) but text did.
Harddrake refused to attempt to configure sound, stating that "The needed
configuration tool has not been found". Double check, and yes, sounddrake is
installed. Had to get sndconfig from contribs.
Side issues/annoyances:
Postfix still doesn't work "out of the box." On a clean install, it defers
all local mail delivery until a local_transport line is added to
/etc/postfix/main.cf
drakefont hung when I tried to import win fonts with it. The appropriate
utilites had all been run, but it wouldn't exit.
linuxconf seems to crash more from within Gnome. Specifically, if I quit
linuxconf and it presents a changes dialog and I select Preview, it crashes
immediately. This does not affect the console.
The text install does not have any time display for either estimated time or
estimated remaining. Presumably, since those are displayed in the GI, the
data is available. Since the installs now take significantly longer than 6.x
did, a time indicator is more valable now than it was then.
BTW, the install was generally faster than my last 7.0-2 install. I installed
1650MB in approx 45 minutes, while the last Air install was 50 minutes and
1100MB. Part of that is the difference between hd and CD installs, but still
an improvement :)
