These are my own very conchise first impressions: overall, i'm very impressed with what i see. i thought it'd be worse.
- no rescue (as expected, even though the option is listed) - when looking at the grub/gfxboot menu?, the text only shows 1 or 2 seconds after the background - in installation, the backgrounds aren't anti-aliased (font also looks abit odd; allthough it could be the vbox) - diskdrake still has a star icon(also wrong scaled) when saying "use free space" - do we need a license agreement? can we not skip this? - ext4 by default - no btrfs? (except in advanced setup) - core media This screen was never clear to me, and i never selected it, however, perhaps for iso installation, a mirror repository should be automatically there and selected by default? so that if there's updates, they can already be used during installation... ? WDYT? - i selected HTTP and it installed a few packages so i could enable networking (2min) - the partition step kept being highlighted, even when i was configuring network... - http://distrib- coffee.ipsl.jussieu.fr/pub/linux/Mageia/distrib/cauldron/x86_64 didn't seem to work when configuring additional media - KDE choice (very funny artwork :-D ) - installing (5min) - when configuring, wizard said my password was trivial to guess, even though i had letter and digits in it with total length 8 - updating after install - when updating, the messages had tiny fonts suddenly. - rebooting system - booting looked fine, nice gfxboot screen (this did not have the 1 a 2 second delay) - i do notice F1 F2 F3 but no visible text next to it...? - because of me having vbox3, the guest machine just crashed when X was appearing. - restarting (using safe mode this time), that worked fine into single user mode - init 3 (gave some warnings but looked ok generally) - messages about gpg-agent being started... - "su -" has the same message - non-free was enabled by default - i enabled tainted - perhaps the iso media should be removed after installation and when updated media are installed? it keeps requesting for the DVD... - vim didn't show a color scheme for /etc/urpmi/urpmi.cfg . - trying to update with urpmi --auto-select showed me that i had an orphaned package ? kernel-desktop-devel ? odd... - i noticed sshd wasn't installed by default, neither was bash-completion - trying init 5 didn't work - i removed x11-driver-video-vboxvideo - init 5 said that display manager didn't work - vbox3 didn't seem to have a way to use a different emulated driver... I don't really want to upgrade to vbox4, in fear of destroying my other virtual machines, so compatibility would be very nice... logs vbox3 guest: (vbox3 is still in 2010.2, so perhaps we should have vbox3 compatibility?) ---------------------- 00:37:49.040 Guest Additions information report: additionsVersion = 0x00010004 osType = 0x00053100 00:37:49.040 Guest Additions capability report: (0x0) seamless: no, hostWindowMapping: no, graphics: no 00:37:49.040 Guest reported fixed hypervisor window at 0x0000000001000000 (size = 0xc00000, rc = VINF_SUCCESS) 00:37:49.051 Guest Log: vboxguest: major 0, IRQ 20, I/O port d020, MMIO at 00000000f0400000 (size 0x400000) 00:37:50.139 Audio: set_record_source ars=0 als=0 (not implemented) 00:37:50.139 Audio: set_record_source ars=0 als=0 (not implemented) 00:37:50.142 Audio: set_record_source ars=0 als=0 (not implemented) 00:37:54.461 SharedFolders host service: connected, u32ClientID = 3 00:37:56.042 NAT: IPv6 not supported 00:37:57.282 Guest Additions capability report: (0x4) seamless: no, hostWindowMapping: no, graphics: yes 00:37:57.283 Display::handleDisplayResize(): uScreenId = 0, pvVRAM=00007f7959303000 w=1440 h=1050 bpp=32 cbLine=0x1F400
