On Nov 18 Kurt Wall was heard saying: ->Hello, list, -> ->I'm finishing up a chapter for an unspecified book on Red Hat Linux ->and you have the opportunity to contribute. In particular, if you ran ->into problems either installing or configuring a stock installation ->of 7.2 (or, perchance, one of the pre-7.2 betas), tell me what it is
*** Two things that seem coming back : 1/ It still doesn't recognize a wheel mouse and thus doesn't configure the mouse properly. The list of available mice is rather empty when doing a re config with "mouseconfig" (the TUI utility). 2/ The up2date utility is still buggy - it keeps asking to register chez RH even when it's done - and is a relatively big "nothing" compared to the auto update feature of SuSE or Debian... 3/ The guy's at Red Hat have sometimes good idea's and do nice init scripts, but for Christ's sake, can't they comment them a bit more!? The latest example is /etc/sysconfig/harddisks. The file itself isn't very talkative. Going to rc.sysinit.sysinit, doing a search for "hard" and figuring out together with man what the entries mean is not a problem for me and others who know RH... Sometimes the scripts look like the maintainer started with loads of good ideas but run out of time at the end. The file "harddisks" is again a good example. Some entries should've been in the script by default. The guy's at RH should check Mandrake's scripts and see if it gives them an idea. Mandrake never worked for me but I liked their init scripts.
