I don't know how many of these have been fixed in beta 2, as I'm waiting for the CD to be delivered (slow modem connection makes downloading iso images impractical). Here are the beta 1 bugs I've found so far, and some are biggies. I know that some of them have been reported for beta 2, but haven't read all the archives yet. 1. Installer will not allow changing from CD1 to CD2. CD1 stays mounted. 2. Modem connection. When configuring during instal, the same box reappears ad infinitum on a box without an NIS until 'configure networking' is canceled. 3. PPP module not compiled into kernel during install of kernel 2.4.2 (might work now I have the 2.4.2 source installed). 4.RPMdrake freezes. 5. Linuxconf freezes if more than one item is opened at once, and has to be killed. 6. Drakfont causes x server to crash when importing certain Windows fonts (wingdings?) in spite od using strong verification. 7. Fetchmailconf produces blank window when creating mail connection. 8. There appears to be no kernel headers or utilities for the 2.4.2 kernel. 9. Not all packages on the CDs seem to appear on Kpackage. 10. I cannot add a CD source to Gnorpm. 11. Xinetd fails to start on boot in kernel 2.2.18 (same as with 7.2) 12. XWindows setup hangs with s3Virge 86c325 card if install is not done in expert mode (as with all Mandrake distros since my first, 7.0. XF86 4.0.2 will not let me select the correct xserver for my card. The S3 Virge server breaks x and I do not get the option of choosing the svga server, so I've had to go back to xf86 3.3.6. Mandrake 7.2 ran on xf86 4.0.1 and installed the svga server. This is a long list, and possibly out of date now, but I believe that some of these bugs are still in the beta 2. I'm using the graphical methods because I'm a relative newbie and, although I can use the command line, I'm no expert at it and so avoid doing so for mission critical things if possible. -- Anna
