The installation of LM 8.0 was without any problem ( i did the install on my
office and on my home computer).
But it seems to me that there are some more problems/bugs:
1. ISDN
I cannot use my IDSN connection. I have an ELSA Quickstep 3000 (ISA pnp)
which normally is handled as Quickstep 1000. Interrupt and IO address is set
correctly. When loading hisax it fails with the message "ELSA timer did not
start". LM 7.2 and 8.0 Beta3 worked without problems.
2. CUPS and/or ghostscript
This problem is on bothe (home and office) computers:
If I print only a single page of a PS-file the page is printed correctly. But
if I try to print some more pages the output is "pare saving", all pagges are
printed on one sheet. This happend with all available different printer, i.e.
HP 2100M(Postscript), HP 890C, HP 6MP(Postscript), HP Lj 1100 and HP 6P.
Its anoying. I do not know wheter those problems arise from CUPS or
Ghostscript.
3. KDVI
After using KDVI and closing it allways the crashmanager is coming. I don't
know whether this is coming from KDE or LM.
4. XSANE
XSANE crashes with an error saying that there was an illegal memory use
(german error message "Unzulaessiger Speicherzugriff")
5. XCDROAST
XCDROAST lets choose me what I am going to do, burn an ISO image or make a
data CD, but when burning should start XCDROAST crashes. This happens with a
LM/cooker rpm version or with a version compiled from the latest source
(Alpha 8 I suppose)
I am wondering whether other users have similar problems. Especially ISDN and
CUPS/Postscript are severe problems for me.
I am on the way to fall back on LM 7.2
