I sent this yesterday and I still have not seen it in the cooker e-mail I get. If other have two copies now sorry....
Did a clean install this time as opposed to the upgrade I did with beta 3. The install went very smoothly. The linux install wizard was even more impressive than in the past. The whole process took just under an hour. The issues I encountered last time were mostly corrected. Sane installation went smoothly except scanner drake did not recognize my scanner automatically (Umax Astra 1200S) this is a bit odd since it has always done this in the past and after asking me to do this manually, there was my scanner listed plan as day in the list. Still it was easy and worked first time. The only thing I see even a bit out of whack right now is that once again I had to change the order of the names "localhost.localdomain" and "localhost" in the /etc/hosts file. If "localhost" is not listed first then swat does not function. This has been this way in 9.0 betas 2, 3, and now 4 (never tried beta 1). This is not hard to fix but it is odd since the other services like webmin do not seem to be bothered either order. Anyway it is looking pretty good to me ... oh and BTW - rpmdrake is getting much better. I like the fact that the package description is now available. Personally I still think the file list should also be included. I have often used this list in version 8.x to find the directory location of program file so that I can start the program. I know there are other ways to get this information but is was simple to look while I was installing. Perhaps this info is still planed. after all this tool has been changing almost before our eyes.
