Recursive install...(?) Chose package groupings, clicked Next -- realized I forgot to select "individual package selection".... clicked Cancel, got groupings and made the selection. When the installer continued, it gave me a 2nd progress window, slightly smaller than the first one, and the package selection window is postage stamp sized -- well, actually barely wide enough to show the name and checkbox, and only 3 lines worth. Proceeded with installation.... until... When it got to the create a boot floppy stage, I answered yes... it asked for a floppy -- I complied; but the system got stuck -- could only switch between "Details" & "No details" and access VCs. Even though I chose to install lilo on MBR, I was not presented with the opportunity to add the 9.1 info -- due to above recursion? Only way out was the 3-finger salute, which of course forced a full fsck of all partitions. Installation of unwanted s/w... I was very careful to deselect Samba, lisa, LinNeighborhood and YP; yet, these were all installed. When making selections of which s/w to install, why aren't there lock icons on all those packages which appear selectable, yet give a package can't be selected/deselected dialog?? Under 9.1, I could use both a USB wheel-mouse _and_ the "stick" on my IBM ThinkPad -- under 9.2, only the USB mouse is enabled. Sure would be nice if a future installer would allow multi-mouse selections. Battery monitor was not installed on laptop -- probably one of those options for which there is no Help listed. Maybe it's not obvious; but until it becomes possible to install on a live system, there is no online help available i the installer.... Networking... OK... LinModems are not directly supported; that's OK... but once it and kppp installed... why should 9.2 not set a corect default route as 9.1 did? # route -n Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 209.165.110.88 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0 ppp0 192.168.1.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 127.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo 0.0.0.0 192.168.1.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0 Especially since eth0 is not even up... # mii-tool eth0: no link System time.... No... this machine has NEVER had WinHosed on it... the time was set correctly in 9.1 -- 9.2rc2 should read 17:50 as I write this; instead, it reads 9:50 -- EIGHT hours off! To repeat my main issue every new release of Mdk: it's the INSTALLER that needs work!!!
