Just tried out the new beta and here are my observations: The main install screen is too big. I had to resize it with my monitor. When asking "Are you sure you are an expert?" it shouldn't say "...make powerfull but dangerous things here" but "...customize powerfull but dangerous things here" or "...make powerfull but dangerous decisions here". Is it supposed to highlight grub and lilo for choosing a bootloader? Do they work together or are they mutually exclusive? "Unable to get hdlist-crypto.cz2" when trying to download crypto stuff. Should that be ".bz2" maybe? When testing X in the install, it starts the X server ok (I'm assuming it was using XFree 4.0), but when I click that it's ok, it doesn't put me back into the original video mode. Using an ATI Xpert98 video card here (Mach64). On the other hand, I *really* like the new installer. A lot nicer than the one in 7.0, good work! And I like the new GNOME splash screen. But you need to put in that weather applet like helix gnome has (dunno what it's called, kweather maybe?). Sorry... here it says GNOME Weather. I live by this thing! So far so good. Haven't had a chance to really play with it yet, but I like what I see, minus the few buglets. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED], OpenPGP key available on www.keyserver.net Freezer Burn BBS: telnet://bbs.freezer-burn.org .
