Well, this wasn't a hardware problem. 9.1 and 8.2 both install on the same systems. 9.1 is just giving him a lot of major problems, it would seem. > Funny :). A guy who resign using a stable release only because > the beta release contained bugs :). Hehehe... true. I suspect it was more what he felt was the volume of bugs than the fact that there were bugs. > > - Bug #2268: Every wheel mouse I try is not detected properly.

I know SuSE works out of the box with PS/2 wheel mice most of the time (my luck with SuSE's mouse detector hasn't been so great lately either). > - by ourselves, we can't extensively test the distribution; > hence, we need external testers: mostly people from cooker, and > non-cooker people who test betas/rcs; this has limits because > of mirror courtesy, mirroring time, and testers' motivation Right. That's part of the problem, just waiting for mirrors to go up, etc. What about having a club mirror for betas and rc's? > - not all bugs are important; people who experience bugs worry > about it but sometimes they are nearly the only ones having it, > and they not all deserve delaying a release True. The ones I've mentioned I think relate to a lot of users, especially the problems in things like Galaxy-kde or the missing media icons on KDE desktops. > - we provide updates Yes, I'm sure we are all very glad for that. :-) -Tim - -- - ---------------------------------------------------------------- Timothy R.
