I can get along without the konsole until I get around to installing it. There are other functional replacements that sit in the "Terminal" section of the menu. But I did select console tools at install, the konsole terminal emulator wasn't part of that. Nor is there a super user mode file manager in the KDE menu any more. At first glance (until the second (?) or third (?)) update there were a lot of 'bells'n'whistles' that I've become accustomed to using that aren't there. I think. Oh well. I'll get over it.... eventually. Having to fight to get back to the desktop; (initscripts based boobie trap maybe) and stopping dead at a "prompt" dead zone that said "no more services in this runlevel to terminate" during a reboot (ditto) was a bit of a weird one though. As is the visible replaying of the Reiser filesystem journals on a "normal" screen (text) every boot when I thought I had set graphic boot and silent splash in Grub. I also see from my own sig that I forgot to boot the updated kernel this last time too. Hmmmm...I think I'll let it run for a while. ;) I don't know if any of it was due to bugs or just the normal (l)user abuse. Me I mean. At least I made it back and I ain't suffering tester withdrawal pangs any longer. <g> I'm liking what Ive seen so far from 9.2 (Canicule?).
