Hi...

I just installed the latest cooker (rsync.proxad.net of today) on a
somewhat standard PC (PII 400, 2 years old, no fancy hardware, a SB16 Awe
soundcard, or something like that).
There are some bugs in the "importance" of various RPMs which make you
install by default "netscape-russian, netscape-sparc-francais", all the
locales, a lot of aspell and kde-i18n files that are marked "maybe"
instead of i18n like some other translated files...
BTW, I tried to remove tcsh and was surprised by the numerous
dependancies...
Last thing, the "kdelibs 1 compatibility" package could be in the kde
repertory of packages instead of having an entry for him alone.
Ok, now I have what seems to be a functionnal computer except the
following :
- gnuplot does not recognise "set terminal gif", which is anoying for rc5
  stats programs :) (even after installation of libgd-1.3 from contribs)
- I don't have sound support, with :
/dev/dsp: No such device
audio: No such device
- sndconfig builds an /etc/conf.modules while it is /etc/modules.conf
- harddrake segfaults and dumps a core while in main(). As it is
  stripped, no more info from gdb. I tried to launch harddrake with all
  the -without-xxx enabled, and it still segfaulted
- I took my old config >> /etc/modules.conf and it works :)
The config is really standard :
alias sound-slot-0 sb
options sound dmabuf=1
options opl3 io=0x388
alias midi awe_wave
post-install awe_wave /bin/sfxload /etc/midi/GU11-ROM.SF2
options sb io=0x220 irq=7 dma=0 dma16=5 mpu_io=0x330
(given by sndconfig)

BTW, is there a way to tell aumix not to open an X window ? (better than
unset DISPLAY && aumix).

Everything else running fine :)
Good work !
