The issue isn't where your boot partition is (AFAIK), it's where LILO is installed to (not necessarily the same thinge). Last time I tried XFS on root there was a warning.
2.) the infamous mouse-wheel problem. WHy does it happen only on install?Maybe because people installing can't read.
Eh? Trust me, moving the mouse wheel doesn't fix it in my case.
But better no-mouse support would be nice after install. It's impossible to configure a mouse without a mouse (ok, not impossible, but no way a newbie would find it).But Pixel has verified a problem with focus during the install. Thefore it is likely impossible to complete the install with no mouse. I have tried to no avail.
Unless she forgot to tell us that she chose LDAP (unlikely). Funny though, LDAP support in Mandrake works out the box for me. There are apparently issues with seperate /usr ...I can't even find where to shut it off. Or I'd think it was off and upon password failure it prompts for 'LDAP password' again.
Right, the problem is, I personally have no idea if Xft2 is better, but apparently the consenus is that it is. Still, I'd like to be able to read more about it before the changes go in.5.) anti-aliased fonts. RedHat's xft2 support might be the way to go, and this should be looked at for 9.1.Did you actually read the thread on this a while back? Fred said it would be done when he get's back.
Of course, it seems some people think eye candy is more important than real features. I am glad Mandrakesoft doesn't. Would you rather have a totally broken but pretty Mandrake Control Center?
And, seeing as Mdk Control Center doesn't work for me, at least it can look pretty. It's better than nothing.
And I don't think anti-aliasing is eye candy in this case. Since people sometimes spend all day in front of the screen, the ease with which they can read screen text can make a world of real difference on eye strain or overall experience.
While 'themes' and the like seem to be just preference, good fonts have lots of practical uses, not just for first impression with newbies.
