I installed 8.0 'expert' on a p3-450 oc'd to 600, Soyo BX chipset
board, voodoo3 pci, AWE64 isa, 33,6 TI modem, IBM hda (Win), WD hdb
(Linux) a little over a week ago from Cheapbytes CD's. Then went to
Mandrake's donation page and made one. Installation was flawless,
everything works and works well right out of the box. I thought had AA
working on 7.2, but 8.0 AA fonts look great, much better!! Every bit
of my hardware was setup/configured properly during the install
including Plextor CD-RW (hdd) and BCC Cdrom (hdc). Great job Mandrake!
One thing puzzles me tho. I use 'loci' (alias loci="locate -i").
I have a sh!+load of files I keep on my Windoze drive. Today I got
around to figuring out why none of those files were being cataloged by
'updatedb'. I edited (as root) this line in /etc/updatedb.conf after
checking 'man locate'
# Which filesystems do we exclude from search?
PRUNEFS="nfs,smbfs,ncpfs,proc,devpts,supermount,iso9660,udf,usbdevfs,devfs"
and removed 'vfat'. Sure enough, now 'updatedb' includes my files on
the Winblows drive. Is there a reason vfat was excluded to begin with?
Just curious ;)
