Hi there,
I have no idea if this is indeed something that comes directly from mandrake 7.2
BUT: when I was upgrading my system from the version of 7.1 you were giving away
last summer at LinuxTag, using a 7.2 from Linux Format (UK magazine) I
discovered that it had reset the permissions on resolv.conf to -r--------, or
something very similar. This had the effect that resolving didn't work unless
you were logged in as the root user. Possibly intentional (or sheer fluke?), but
if so maybe you could indicate a course of action to make it work without
resorting to chmod again...
Other than that, a general point about RPMs: I see you included netscape 4.75
compiled for XFree86 4... how do you upgrade XFree from the RPMs without using
the official Upgrade software (which users of heavily personalised systems might
not wish to do)?
Lastly, netscape: that ugly little memory leak in Netscape 4.7 that brings your
system down to the point of irreversibility... while it's not really your jobs
to know, I was wondering if you had a) an idea of how to limit netscape's memory
usage or b) some good news along the lines of 'netscape 6 is immune to this
bug...'
Thanks,
Em
