Hello,
I just installed Mandrake 8.1 on one of my test systems. It's almost as if the install program was written in perl because it exited (twice) abruptly with something like "Global destruction to unreferenced scalar" (or something like that). It happens if you try cancelling the printer package install and sometimes it just does it unexpectedly (and rather inconveniently when your system is half-installed). What is happening? This system doesn't have very much space and I fail to see why drakxtools (or some other mandrake configuration utils) required XFree 4.1.0 (S3 Trio isn't supported by 4.x.x) and _both_ XFree86-75dpi-fonts and XFree86-100dpi-fonts. Why I need both types on fonts on a monitor that just manages 800x600x16 is beyond me... And then, I found out that Mandrake 8.1 forces you to use DevFS... Isn't DevFS experimental? Linux is all about choice so why didn't I get to choose the traditional way of handling devices? Sorry if I sound blunt but this is what happened and I'm a bit disappointed. Thanks, pesarif
