Well when 7.0 came out i got excited and bought the CD thinking...hey
6.1 was cool...damn 7 must be better....what a dissappointment.....
I selected an upgrade and now I find I have an absolute multitude of
problems to work through....seems lots of things are now broken....all
come with the distro...
First my ppp scripts no longer function...cool huh and all I used to use
was ifup ppp0.
This is now broken by a new app in the initscripts called ppp-watch. Now
if I try the old ifup ppp0 ppp-watch barfs and rejects it. Off to the
source code time to resolve that...in the mean time I probably broke
everything and went back to the init scripts from 6.1 to make it work
again.... oh by the way this also appears to make linuxconf ppp side of
life to fail as well...it gives the same errors in messages....kppp
still goes but I hate KDE! Would seem to identify where the testing went
thou.
Also appears that the IDE patches weren't in the kernel cause my ALI
board chipset is no longer recognised and installed as simplex...DOH!
off to get another patch and patch the kernel....
Next for some reason starting gnome is as slow as an absolute wet
week!!! On 6.1 it came up fast....on 7.0 it takes approximately 3
minutes for the desktop icons to appear.......
Sigh appears that the reasons I went to Mandrake are fast dissappearing
;((
Anyone have some cluse to the slow enlightenment startup I would
appreciate.
Regards
