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 ! -- Xavier
