Hi VERSION (rsync ftp.uninett.no) Mandrake Linux Cooker-i586 20010821 21:02 /ChangeLog/1.544/Tue Aug 21 16:46:20 2001// I don't want to write down everything that was curious, I will only outline it here. But I have the partition saved for a day or two if anyone is interested in files. The graphic installation didn't give me any mouse, but I could select my serial mouse - but nothing changed, i.e. in testing the mouse my given information was not assimilated by the installation. Rebooted into text installation. Only three keyboards to choose from UK, US and US int. Someone ought to be able to make some smart sorting of the packages to install, found only ascii sorting. Network: 1 found my via-rhine 2 next reports that it could not find (probably communicate) any card Tried to use Ctrl-Alt-F2 + bug, someone changed the file format to vfat from the ext2 I had prepared, but it reported that it could not find the 'module floppy', so no way. Summary: Succesfully changed to swedish keyboard. Printer failed to load drivers - data in saved files. Processes gpm started correctly as later found out in linuxconf. wine started by default? Bootdisk failed, data in saved files, here I had to leave the installation, but grub and devfs seamed to function because I was able to reboot by copying the menu data. As root I checked DrakConf and found that HardDrake was not capable to identify, in other devices my VIA pci bus, with device ID '11063065'. Tried XFdrake - bailed out. xf86config was running nice, but during that crondaily or something was running. This cron shit resulted in that I was unable to use my passwd to enter as user and later I was unable to reenter as root. regards guran
