Someone at Mandrake has earlier argued that he did not want to furnish
the new kernel because some experimental stuff was used, he wanted to
wait till the problems have stabilized.
The experimental stuff to my understanding, was ment to give a new view
on known problems. This means that we might suffer from the same
problems at Mandrake but may not see any new light at the end of the
tunnel. Instead we might opt for one change here and another one there
and all for no possible good.
Look at the following result from a fresh install = 5 min old.
In SUMMARY and opting for Timezone, which may not be changed from that
given by the install language.
Ctrl-Alt-F3 gives:
warning: Perl v18.777.291 required -
When this step is repeated I get:
Perl v18.777.338
Perl v18.822.201
Perl v18.821.427 &c
This is to me the result of that the same Perl script is lifted on to
the stack, that has naturally of course changed in a multiuser OS. But
the question is if the number of the Perl version should change? Thus
the Perl number system or file-referense or memory system is at havoc.
It is putting the numbers at the wrong memory position.
This might be related to kernel problems with VMS.
