First impressions of Mandrake 8 install (machine: Thinkpad a20m, Mandrake 7.2 with updated kernel and botched sound is installed) Booted from CD-ROM.. * Trackpoint does not work (worked fine in Mandrake 7.2) regardless of which mouse you pick. Further, if you pick any of the bus mouses; it complains about "unknown device atibm (caller is install_steps_gtk:/usr/bin/perl-install/ install_steps_gdk.pm:192)" Chose "No Mouse" option. * Machine locks up at the "The DrakX Partitioning wizard found the following solutions", if you hit ENTER on "use existing partition" * Second time around, it passed that stage, I chose to keep the partitions and not format them either. It then croaked at: "unable to open /mnt/var/lib/rpm/Packages" More to follow if I can get beyond :) -turgut ----- Turgut Kalfaoglu: http://www.kalfaoglu.com EgeNet Internet Services: http://www.egenet.com.tr All of Turkey Online: http://find.egenet.com.tr
