Computer,
MSI k7t266 pro 2 with raid (but disabled in bios)
geforce3
via8233 sound chipset with ac97 codec
1800 Athlon processor
512mb ddr ram

Install,
all 3 cd's md5sum tested ok.
no problems with usb detection.
programme installer reported one error, tux racer failed.
DrakX printer install  configuration had problems,
only one of four  Z53 drivers would configure where normall 3 do.
I cancelled lilo install, it refused cancell and buggered up my
lilo entries, since  this was only a beta2 test I was going to boot
on a floppy  and save my dual boot lilo.conf entires, this
has made unnecassary work to repair the damage. Clearly
lilo cancell tab does not work.

Desktop config
Sound seems to work ok, though not tested all apps.
Screen resolution had to be inproved on desktop.
as it would not accept best config in Xwindows condig
Don't like the increasingly difficult manner inwhich root
is being made difficult to set up properly.This is retrograde.
Not everyone wants this dictatorial approach.

Upon further examination, I now realize that the
lilo entries were not changed, the situation fooled
me because the splash screen that comes up has completely
changed , and the entries there, but the script it runs
had not changed. Apologies.

John
