I've been off of work for a couple of days so here's a beta3 bug report.
sorry if there are any repeats of other peoples comments here.
Things that didn't work.
During installation harddrake failed to find my partition
information, this problem corrected it's self if I disabled
the dvd drive from the bios. this only seems to happen
when installing, as harddrake work fine post install.
Things that could work better.
KDE2 or something related to kde crashed on first login.
KDE2 fails to logout from time to time
crtl+alt+bspace will sometimes shut down x and then not
restart it.
RPMdrak doesn't seem to keep custom file locations.
RPMdrake doesn't like old rpm,
KPackage crashes with old rpms.
LinuxConfig (gui version) doesn't run under x.
Linuxconfig from console runs, but complains about
permissions.
Linuxconfig doesn't restart services correctly e.g. when
changing samba,dhcp,dns configuration.
Linux boots into a default user without asking for a password.
postgress complains about multiple db's (haven't looked much
into this yet).
ide CD-WR wasn't mounted as scsi device. (i think).
the version of konqueror with beta 3 doesn't seem to like
working with netbios usernames/passwords.
installer doesn't seem to give an upgrade option.
(this ones a bit hci)have clicked on server instead of
development on several installs, anyone else done this or am i
just odd?
Things that would be nice for the next version.
ability to install/ information about 3rd party(binary drivers)
during
installation. e.g. you have a wonder 9000 dvd decoder , the default
drivers may work.
3rd party drivers can be obtained
from..wonder.9000.com/closedsourcedrivers........ mandrake soft
accepts no responsibility for Trojans etc........
I doubt the database would be that big.
hardware/software diagnostics software, e.g.
mandrake Linux has finished installing,
[test stuff] [go away]
with man/howto links etc...
it would probably help with debugging, and would stop those 'is mesa
really working with my graphics card?', worries.
