I have just installed 9.1 beta 1 and I must agree with wow that it looks
better.
I use gnome as my primary desktop, and it just looks a touched more
polished. The font config menu gives options for font smoothing.
The pointer appears transparent almost (light grey) and has a shadow ..
very impressive.
However I have a few questions, and wasn't sure where to ask them, so I
am tacking them to the bottom of this 'wow 9.1b1 is cool' mail :)
xine - ever a thorn in my side, gives me trouble. It appears I have no
audio or video drivers installed. Any ideas?
I suppose I could just add a cooker sauce (source) to urpmi and try
installing xine from cooker .. which brings my second question.. and
perhaps less beta related. How do I add a cooker source with urpmi
again? Stupid me gets excited each time someone tells me.. and rapidly
forgets again.
Note to self: make a 'Help me' file and keep all the things in there
that help me.. so I can refer to it again...
Oh.. one last thing, to Mandrakesoft: Well done!! If beta1 looks this
good, can't wait for 9.1!!!! Will be the best ever!!
(sadly(??) looks are always what counts ;)
