nice of you. Is that a compliment?

either these bugs are not show-stoppers and no-one bothered fixing them (and
fixed was not provided), or maybe this come from a buggy download?

seems very stable to me (i had 45 days uptime on my devel-box, only pb came from
my moving the machine and AGP slot unslotted that froze X... and even with this,
linux continued to go on!)
Say, i'm gonna analyse what you post and tell why you got not a lot of answers.
# If this bugs wil be not fixed, I can't use Linux Mandrake 7.1 and switch to Suse
# 6.4, whith works fine on my system.
yelling that way won't make people move faster. Even more when the guy post in
html using outlook express (guess what score you get with my gnus ;p)
# In my opinion Linux Mandrake 7.1 beta 3 is very unstable (Mandrake 7.0-2 too)
# and we must very hard work to fix these problems, otherwise Linux Mandrake los
# many potential users (for example me).
telling such lies is no good too.
# 1. Text installer displays no lithuanian symbols (if I use graphical installer
# all is OK and after install i see all lithuanian symbols in console)
text installer is not a priority. But it was taken into account. Should be fixed
in DrakX in cooker now (or will be soon). So this is no way "very unstable"
#
# 2. when I try to mount any partition (exclude linux swap) I got this error:
# * warning: prijungimas nepavyko: No such file or directory at
# /usr/bin/perl-install/fs.pm line 209.
# (in lithuanian 'prijungimas nepavyko' mean 'mount not successfull' or
# something)
#
# It happened in all previous betas also, but error was at line 208:
# * warning: prijungimas nepavyko: No such file or directory at
# /usr/bin/perl-install/fs.pm line 208.
i did have a look at this. I was not able to reproduce/understand.
#
# 3. If I try setup remote printer (on ethernet LAN) installer fully hangs and
# only reset helps me :( (keyboard not work)
#
# 4. after install, when starting Mandrake 7.1 beta3 system fully hangs (last
# message is about eth0 or something) and again only reset helps me :(
this kind of stuff (3. & 4.) is hardware (aka kernel) pb. Very hard to fix.
in those cases, only *you* can fix it. Aka try different kernel options to find
the one that causes the pb.
this didn't happen anywhere here.
# 5. I have Intel 810e onboard video, but XF86 4.0 does not start :(
XF4 is no priority. We've got enough pb with XF3.3.6!
cu Pixel (who really thinks 7.1 is the best distrib on earth, and maybe more).
