I've just done an hd expert developer installation which went very smoothly
until I rebooted. There were lots of error messages - I haven't followed
them all up yet, so there'll probably be a follow-up mail.
perl: warning: Setting locale failed.
perl: warning: Please check that your locale settings:
LANGUAGE = "en_GB:en",
LC_ALL = (unset),
LC_CTYPE = "en_GB",
LC_COLLATE = "en_GB",
LC_TIME = "en_GB",
LC_MESSAGES = "en_GB",
LC_MONETARY = "en_GB",
LC_NUMERIC = "en_GB",
LANG = "en"
are supported and installed on your system.
perl: warning: Falling back to the standard locale ("C").
The default kernel has no MS-DOS support, so I started by rebuilding the
kernel. The locale warning appeared again but the kernel built OK (with
MS-DOS support) - except it didn't, or wasn't - after running lilo and
rebooting, still no MS-DOS support in this kernel. How can this be?
KDE2 looks a bit better (I'd lost the icons but restored them following
Chris' advice to run update-menu as root - I had to do rpm --rebuilddb first).
No sound whatsoever. DrakConf complained about version of modutils, so I
went to do the usual for my AWE64, that is sndconfig - guess what? no
sndconfig. So I copied modules.conf and isapnp.conf from 7.2 (before kernel
make dep), expecting sound after reboot - nada. I'll add some lines from
/var/log/messages - perhaps that'll give someone a clue...

Sorry about the length. Hope someone can help?
