Well, I must agree to some extent. Where did you go from elx?
I mean, it's quite up to date, full featured, and the install was
successful, most things work, but this file system searching is making me
nuts, and the permissions on sound are giving me fits also. This is not
unusual, but they do claim to be a windows substitute and I feel they have
a ways to go before they are there. I did a custom install, and just used
a 6 gig partition, hda10. Elx overwrote the mbr, causing me to have to use
a boot disk, even though I told it not to install to mbr. I booted to
redhat and ran lilo, fixing everything. So it's not perfect yet, but it's
god for an early release. As for repackaging utilities, as long as they
work.... (?) So I'm open to another choice. I'd been using libranet, but
their new release took too long. (And debian is too easy! ;-)
