First problem is as noted before , I can not mount My /home partion
using the disk partion utility in the installer, as it is where I am
installing the files from, so it is mounted as /mnt/hd, and will not let
Me unmount the partion and remount it, sugestion, perhaps before we
mount the install media it could "ask" us where we want the partion
mounted? that seems the simplest solution to the problem (that is in the
text part of the install before we boot the graphic installer...
----
Secound problem is the package selection.. after selecting the groups
and going on to the manul package selection, I have noted some various
bugs and abnormilties.. some very severe some just anoying.. they are do
with the dependecy's... I will list some expamples of them but I did not
have the patioence to write them ALL down there is quite a few...alot of
them have to do with the laungue stuff.
gnozip -requires Basilikll (mac emulator??) CodeCommander, SVGATextMode,
audiofile.. now I am not sure on these but I am pretty sure that these
have NOTHING to do with echother.
auto selcted "howto-html-el" not "howto-html-en" like it should be since
I chose "english" laungage.
gnome-print-devel - requires lilo-doc ... this also has nothing to do
with the other.
unselcting vim-common causes the installer to pop dialog box saying
"Package can not be base" and then dumps you back into the partion part
of the installer.
Netscape Comunicator or Nav requires Netscape castelano, (spanish
edition) this is definitly not right and causes some serious problems...
Netconfig reqires codewars (wich is a game)!!!
there are many many other deps problems unselction a package that is
realy not much will pop up a box saying that it will be uninstaling many
nessary packages for daily use of the system including alot of gnome and
base lib packages...
On compleation of the install tasks it will ask Me if i want to
reconfigure the network saying it was previously configured, this is
rather confusing considering that it is a fresh install on a formated
partion.
the network config for the ppp still dose not allow you to configure the
local and remote ip addresses or the on boot flag, wich is nessary for
my daily use.
the password for pap is as follows -"password""- this seems to work
though so i guess it is only cosmetic. the conection dose work now.
the rescue for hd dose not work and crashes after loading the ide and
scsi drivers detected, the same hd.img loads fine for the install, I am
never asked for the secound disk.
sound STILL is not detected by sounddrake and I still have to use the
sndconfig from the 7.0 wich works fine as stated before it is a AWE64
pnp, this is not a dificult card to detect! in the harddrake it shows
soundcard.. but there is no detected card nor a botton to configure the
sound card.
xmms and xchat do not have menu entries, and i am sure there are others
in gnome panel.
the gnome desktop icons are severly messed up and are set to the bland
default icons.
apon booting kde there is like 3 items in the menu etries, even though
there is 90% of the kde software installed as well as other various X
programs.
apon installing the helixcode gnome stuff i have most of my desktop
functionality back. but the icons are messed up for a different reason.
that is all that I wrote down last night during the long install, sorry
for the realy long list of bugs but there are some seroius bugs here
that need to be resolved.
