Pixel et. al., I just did a clean install to fix my gnome mess. Saw many wonderful improvements, and a few more problems.
Good: soundcard/soundsystem choice (thanks for that, the linux-audio list will be happier) Bad: doesn't work as well as draksound does (yet?) Details: It doesn't explain that the default is the oss driver, and that the alternative driver is alsa. The alternative driver suggested to me just showed up as snd(), but when I went to the list of drivers, it was already sitting on the right one, snd-cmipci. Good: many BACK buttons now go back Bad: some don't Detail: at 'do you want to configure a printer' select YES. On the next screen, select BACK. It goes directly to the summary page. That's not back. That's more like cancel. Good: ftp install works perfectly, as always Bad: http install doesn't ask for a username, or doesn't default to anonymous:[EMAIL PROTECTED], so I can't use http install on redbox.cz Detail: I think it's always been like this, but http would be nice, and this has two easy solutions: default to anonymous, or ask Bad: network install doesn't properly configure urpmi database Detail: this has been a problem for many versions. I don't see why this can't work. I just installed from an ftp site, urpmi should be setup to use that in the future. The problem is that I logged in with username: anonymous passwork: [EMAIL PROTECTED] and uprmi gets setup for ftp://anonymous:[EMAIL PROTECTED]@mandrake.redbox.cz/...... I know it's nice to hide the password, but it's also stupid to have to urpmi.remove that, and then urpmi.addmedia it right back. Anyway, thanks for listening to my previous reports!
