I installed beta4 this evening (twice). I noticed that when you cancel the first-time configuration wizard at the first screen it dumps you into a console shell instead of a reasonable KDE desktop like in beta3 and 8.2.
I noticed that OpenOffice1.0.1 is on CD2, but could not persuade the installer to include it as a package. I tried to install using rpm -ivh OpenOffice.org-1.0.1-2mdk.i586.rpm \ OpenOffice.org-l10n-en-1.0.1-2mdk.i586.rpm \ OpenOffice.org-libs-1.0.1-2mdk.i586.rpm \ libdbcxx3.3-3.3.11-11mdk.i586.rpm \ myspell-en_US-1.0.1-0.20020626.1mdk.noarch.rpm \ This pretty much killed my system. I rebooted and noticed that all the KDE icons on the taskbar turned to "gears" and would not work. Most of the applications disappeared from the menus, so that only non-KDE programs were left. I therefore did a reinstall and got my Openoffice1.0.1 from somewhere else. --Charles
