OK, I did a re-install lastnight so I could nuke everything on hda (way too many partitions). I chose the 'expert' install and then selected 'custom' and went from there. I set my partitions up as follows: hda1 /boot (50MB, ext3) hda2 / (balance of 15GB drive, ext3) hdb1 swap (1024MB) hdb2 /home (balance of 40GB drive, ext3) The only things I've noticed are: - Logitech Marble mouse (USB or PS/2) was seen as a 3 button mouse by anaconda - easily changed during install. - during the lilo config portion the append box had only hdc=ide-scsi, needed to add hdd=ide-scsi. - although X was configured and 'works' outta the box, pressing <ctrl>+<alt>+<num-pad+ or -> does't change resolutions and the truetype fonts I added aren't seen because the fontpath section only points to unix/:7100. - I've found the stock firewall to be quite good but had to add a '-l' (dash ell) to the rules in order to get logging. So far most everything I've checked out 'just works' including burning CD's (haven't tried playing a DVD yet), though I did add xcdroast myself and used that to burn. This install, I included apache and anon ftp but haven't set them up or anything as of yet so, nothing to report there. I will be setting both of these up later this week. Overall, I was/am very impressed with this version of RedHat, including the up2date feature - so much so that I intend to purchace a boxed edition which I haven't done since Caldera released eD2.4 way back when.
