continuing: - after installing, i rebooted - no 2secs delay - no F1 F2 F3 text bug, colors looks nice - but, text and graphic of grub is updated - choose mageia 1 - kdm displays, and looks ok - the konsoles that were open still open fine - indexhtml page seems still not to work (#72) - firebug doesn't work for the 4.0 rc1 (i suppose this is the disadvantage of shipping firefox 4.0 branch, there is hardly any addon support) which reminds me, there isn't a KDE plasma notifier addon installed as well. - all games submenus have this weird cardlike icon, even arcade and others - the "more" thing is still there and in it, is the "pulseaudio config settings" ? - the configure your computer icon is below the line in the system tools menu - weird artifact bug when showing shutdown menu (#439) - i sent missing rpms from mdv (#440) voila! upgrade test complete. > this was a cloned machine, so it can be retested at a later date. or in > different ways. > > > my conclusion: > - totally not ready for upgrade via DVD. > - DVD upgrade method seems very unstable to me and takes way too much > time. - I would propose to change the DVD upgrade method, that it just > doesn't upgrade at all, except it installs a mgaupdate applet on the > mandriva, then reboots into mandriva, but sort of does an applet-y upgrade > there.
