Hello,
I installed MD6.0 at home yesterday (reformatted /, but kept old /home
partition) and was confused by a few things:
o Sometimes my filesytem won't unmount at shutdown (this could be related to
using my SBAWE64, as spotted by Ronan)
o If I start X (KDE) as a normal user, open a terminal, 'su' to root, and
try to run any programs (eg linuxconf or xcdroast) they will not run. From
memory, linuxconf prints a 'broken pipe' message, and xcdroast complains
about not being to open 'display :0'. Even if I set DISPLAY, the programs
still won't run. If I type 'xhost +' xlib prints some error messages ... If
I start X as root, there are no problems.
o I have an ATAPI cdrw, which I've never used with Linux before. I chose the
no SCSI devices at install. cdrecord -scanbus complains that there is no
generic scsi support, will I need to recompile my kernel, or is the existing
one able to cope? Is there any Mandrake-specific documentation on CDRW, or
should I stick to the (new) faq at http://www.guug.de/~winni/linux/cdr/html/
