------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-27-09 10:58 ------- Maybe you could provide a tool in the "Mandrake Control Center" which can be used after the install. This tool could propose "system profils" (as previously described). It could apply system changes in order to fit the system use profil.

I mean we need some installation classes according to some criterions which could be: a. always running or not (does not mean "server or not") b. tiny configuration or not c. save energy or not For the "a." case, I would like to have an install class where anacron is installed by default. Think at the home user who don't know what is anacron and whose system is always down when some administration task are planned by cron. Its system will never be well configured ! For the "b." case, think at people who are using tiny hardware. This hardware is not necessary old, the low power sometimes save weight. I use such a laptop (recent but not powerfull because of weight and energy savings). I always do manually the following settings: - less virtual consoles (6 -> 2) - suppress some services - desktop environnement settings (opaque window move, animated lists, KDE deamons, ...) For the "c." case, think at people who are using a battery powered system. I do the following settings: - activate ACPI (user who don't know what it is will not use it) - automatically manage services and "hdparm -S [delay]" according to power source (battery or AC) - perform some settings of the "b." case Currently, you are looking like a good distro for newbies. But really, users must have some knowledges in the system configuration in order to fit their needs. So your distro seems to be for newbies but it is not. I think some newbies will be disappointed by their first contact with Linux Mandrake 9.2. I already said it while 9.1 preparation but you never took this in account (see bug #2362). I hope this more generic notice will help you in some way (I'm always hoping).
