This was on an expert install of everything.
While I did ask for everything. I really do agree with the other people that
there should be some defaults. It came with identd and xidentd selected. This
is illogical. Now granted I can turn it off but please set some logical
defaults.
The list of daemons to start is also really hard to use. The scrolling "wraps"
around. I.E. if you scroll to the bottom it will keep scrolling back to the
top. Which makes it really confusing. Especially if you're trying to use Page
Up etc to get around.
Also it asks which printer system I want to use. That's nice but it really
should ask that before it asks what I want to start so that way it can start
out with logical defaults. I.E. if I choose CUPS then it shouldn't start lpd
unless I tell it otherwise. Others may disagree this is just my personal
preference.
This is with cups-1.1.3-2mdk, cups-devel-1.1.3-2mdk and
cups-drivers-0.3.6-12mdk
I was also impressed when I made the "Auto install floppy" that it worked
flawlessly with my SuperDisk in my laptop which in the past floppies have not
worked very well with!
I was unable to get my LaserJet6P to work with either CUPS or lpd during the
install. I haven't tried after the install. This is a printer that's hooked
up to a Netgear PS104 printer server. Which supports both lpd and smb printer
protocols I tried both.
I selected the 1280x1024 resolution but got 1024x768 after the install. :(
No matter what I do I can't get 1280x1024, used to work just fine under 7.1.
I'm running XF86 4.01 and this is in a Gateway Solo 9100 laptop so it's an ATI
video card.
This is with XF86 4.01 -18mdk
Wahoo clicking on the floppy icon when no floppy is in my superdisk drive
doesn't hang the machine like it did in 7.0 and 7.1.
When I tried to do a network configuration from linuxconf I get:
Error message from remadmin :X Error of failed request: BadWindow (invalid
Window parameter)
Error message from remadmin : Major opcode of failed request: 61
(X_ClearArea)
Error message from remadmin : Serial number of failed request: 7008
Error message from remadmin : Current serial number in output stream: 9806
And then it hangs.
Also of note you get a dialog that pops up when you start linuxconf that says:
Incompaitble module /usr/lib/linuxconf/modules/pppoe.so.1.18.0 get a new one or
recompile it against a recent linuxconf-devel package. Excpect API revision
16, got 15.
This is with:
linuxconf-devel-1.21r1-2mdk
linuxconf-lib-1.21r1-2mdk
linuxconf-1.21r1-2mdk
On my desktop I have a link to a zip drive but I don't have a zip drive hooked
up and there is no /mnt/zip
Well that's it for me for now.
