I'm not sure if this was sent or not, as I didn't see it reading the list. If it was sent, please accept my apologies.... Just a few things. One is that this beta seems much more stable, to which I am very thankful. However, I think some of the services need some more (or better) descriptions. For example, ipop3 (has no description), cfd (I've never heard of this one before), and lvs (new to me too). I also noticed xinetd appears twice. One last thing on services: there are many services which do the same thing.. how do I know which one to choose? For example, sendmail and postfix.. xinetd on inetd.. do some things rely on one services and not the other? Root is getting some weird emails.. one is from Anacron.. subject Anacron job 'cron.daily': "DB2 problem...: missing or empty key value specified hash map "Alias0": unsafe map file /etc/aliases.db: Symbolic links not allowed..." This is repeated a few times in the same email and then finished off with: "slocate: this is not a valid slocate database: /var/lib/slocate/slocate.db" I'm also getting emails saying: "errors occured while rotating /var/log/mail/mail.warn stat of /var/log/mail.warn failed: No such file or directory" Another email is about servers/telnet: localhost. The long and the short of it is: localhost: problem connecting to "localhost", port 23: Connection refused." Now, I've disabled telnet in inetd.conf. Is this the problem? Lastly, I noticed something interesting when I tried to do a clean install. After selecting my partitions, I wanted to format /usr and / .. so I selected those. Upon reboot after installation, I noticed that all my previous files were there still. In other words, although it said formating, it didn't actual format. I tried this again using the format option in the partition section (i.e. the button that says format) and it didn't do anything. I had to do a rm -rf instead. It was quite odd. Is it my machine? Nothing else to report really, except that X picks a higher resolution than I would like every time, even though I select a lower one. This isn't new, as it happens in 7.1 as well, and is a quick fix once I boot up. JP
