First, the positive side is the nice rpm install (only a couple of rpm have failed against a whole bunch in 8.1).
Now the bad :( The graphical install is not working as it should. The screen brings up a misture of color letting you admit it does not work. But if you are lucky and you decide to click in it, everything appears and the install then goes smoothly in X. (check the attached doc.- there is some complaints of X about a user...) I have a i810 and the new module i810fb seems to work fine. However I need agpgart and the program does not install it! (making booting directly in level 5 fail). !!! my fstab and lilo.conf carry some comments : meaning lines beginning with # And your installer is not dealing with that in a consistent way. Result: I can't have lilo installed from the install session - I have to run lilo after my first boot and using Grub the first time. At mount time fstab is not read correctly for example-> dev/#hdc that's not workin' In lilo -> your installer removes quotes and then complains about \n and \t in the lilo.conf file. (Yes my kernel names are sometimes large) I tried a no-X installation. There is a bug in the CUPS config. When you 'click' on quit it brings you to one of the precedent menus. Therefore you can not finish your installation and I had to do a cold shutdown (I didn't test F11/12, because there was no mention of that in the curse environment). Also the curse stuff goes out of the screen sometimes - that's a minor detail.
