Computer: Pentium III 800 MHz, 256Mb Ram, Nvidia Geforce 4, two hd, installation in hdb13 (rest of hdb for Mandrake 9.0; hda for windows (two partitions) and two additional partitions for linux (/otros and /pelis); hdc=LG CDRW 48x, hdd=dvd hitachi, usb printer (epson stylus color 760), parallel printer (HPLaserJet 4L), usb scanner (epson perfection 1200U), tv: avemediatv, ps2 weel mouse
Installation: Well, finally you can select packages; mouse configuration fine, not start mbr installtion if you won't it.. ^_^; but... - Not footmatic rpm (not printers installed); in fact the rpms were in the cd 1 and the cd introduced was cd 3. - No automatic start installation of net, graphic card, time zone. BTW, very good idea install ntp at this moment selecting a server to update automatically the hour - Cable modem: not well installed; eth1 activated but net unreachable. To run it I had to: a) run dhcpclient (a problem because now the bash login appears in this way: x1-6-00-60-08-36-91-C8-login>) After that I have, after network restart, network accesible (for example ping ... runing) but not internet. b) edit the /etc/resolv.conf file and add the ips of the dns servers (nameserver ......). But still not runing after restart network. c) Still necessary to install the old inistcripts of 9.0 (--force --nodeps) to have internet accesible. - Supermount was dissabled by default. - After the first star, I been able to install printers, cups, footmatic and other packages weren't installed, so it takes a long time, but it runs. - Scannerdrake not runing from Mandrake Control Center (MCC is a bit ugly, perhaps the translation to gtk2 is still not completed) but runs from a console; nevertheless it couldn't configure my epson perfection 1200U that xsane recognize :-(; I do it by hand and it is runing fine. - The geforce 4 general module of XFree86 4.2.99 still not runing fine; I had to change it for a vesa generic and now it is runing well, but, of course, not dri activated (acceleration). - Openoffice still not runing, Abort Error:-( :-( This is all for now; this morning I'll done more test.
