i've just completed a test install of 9.2rc2 on a new box. i didn't try anything fancy or any kind of extended testing.
(1) i couldn't get my ADSL connection working till i ignored the advice in /etc/ppp/pppoe.conf : Sympatico users in Canada do need to include "@sympatico.ca" this is the opposite of the truth! when i included it, it didn't work; when i omitted it -- as on my present box with 9.0 -- the connection is ok. (2) if you don't define ADSL as your I/net service during install'n, MCC won't do it for you: it insists on believing you're part of a LAN & there seems to be no way to change this. even then, i had to manually edit pppoe.conf & pap-secrets to get things going. (3) there is a bad spelling in MCC: 'Services and Deamons': it sb 'Daemons'. (4) in KDE, i tried to change the background color of 1 desktop to red (it's the one on which i wd normally run a terminal as root), but it refuses to change the color, tho' the config screen says it has. (well, i use XFCE ordinarily, but it's not among the listed choices in 9.2). (5) despite choosing 'game station' during installation, i had to install kdegames by hand later; also amazingly, vim wasn't installed by dft (and then the menu says 'vi'). i chose all groups except multimedia & servers. (6) generally, the appearance during installation & dft start-up is cheap. the 9.1 installation screens looked better & the 9.2 fonts are crude . why do you persist with KDE ? why not offer XFCE as dft desktop manager ? OTOH congratulations! you have finally got the mouse test to work: it's something i complained about after installing 9.0 . HTH (no i don't run cooker, but i assume you want user feedback) and yes, you can include some ads, if it helps pay the bills. -- ========================,,============================================ SUPPORT ___________//___, Philip Webb : [EMAIL PROTECTED] ELECTRIC /] [] [] [] [] []| Centre for Urban & Community Studies TRANSIT `-O----------O---' University of Toronto
