Hi list finally I had some time to look at tsl 3.0, here are some notes about it: Some of them are really a little bit nitpicking.. so I don't want to add all of them to bugtrack.
I'm installing trustix-3.0.200504181524.i586.iso on a duron1000, VIA Apollo kt266 chipset, 256MB RAM, IDE CDROM, Adaptec 2940UW(?) controller with one 4GB IBM HD attached and two installed NICs (3c95x & rtl8139x) 1) Installation - Why is the background color black and not teh good'ol blue? :) 1.1) Keyboard Configuration Some other _simple_ dialogs select "Next" when pressing <enter> once, and execute "Next" when pressing <enter> again. This dialog does not :) 1.2) Partition List Any chance to get <shift+tab> working? (cycle through al fields in reverse order) 1.3) Network Configuration I can only configure one NIC, the second is not recognised? (iirc this is already in bugtrack). It could be useful to have the name (eth0) and maybe the drivername (3c95x) in the headline of the interface dialog. Retrieving host/domainname via dns is great! 1.4) Package List I'm doing a lot firewalling & network stuff, so I'm missing some packages: at least "bridge-utils" and "vconfig" should be added. Both kernelmodules are in TSL for ages, so the userspace part should be there too. arptables/ebtables are mainstream in 2.6 They become very handy when building firewalling bridges (eg. between ethX <-> wlanX) openvpn2 has just been released (expect 2.2 contrib soon :) It could be a nice alternative to *swan when talking to M$ Window$ clients.. Nice to see net-snmp (ivan: *thumbsup*) and freeradius in 3.0 I don't like the X11 stuff much, but time will tell.. That was all.. during install. So stay tuned, there will be more when playing with 3.0 tomorrow :) Olaf _______________________________________________ tsl-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.trustix.org/mailman/listinfo/tsl-discuss
