Hi all, I agree with Kernowyon about the mail client should be installed
out-of-the-box. I have also detected something in the repository: there are
some packages not well enough described, I mean, the summary and description
fields aren't as good as they could be. This is something that although
could looks a subtle detail, it might be quite annonying for the final user.
Imagine you are an unexperienced desktop Linux user and want to install
Kmail, so you open smart-gui and write kmail in the search box. Then you
press enter and get nothing => Yoper doesn't have kmail => what kinda distro
is this! => go out from from my disk right now!!
However, if you put good documentation in packages, these kind of situations
won't happend since the smart-gui search engine also takes into account the
description field. So, please bear this detail in mind. The best place where
you can get good documentation for packages are their own home sites. There
you have good overviews or summaries about what packages do. You don't have
to type a single characters most of the times! Just copy and paste! In spite
of it, KDE packages should include the name of the programs they content; no
more words are needed to justify this, hopefully.
You know what? Yoper rocks! ;-)

Subject: [yoper-dev] Couple of notes
Date: Thu, 25 Jan 2007 09:12:31 +0000
Just a couple of quick things.
Firstly, the powernow issue was indeed because I had disabled it in the
bios
of my main system ;) Works fine now!
Noticed that there is no mail client installed by default - I had to
install
KDEpim to get Kmail - new users may not be aware that kmail is in that
package (personally, I think the kde team made a serious error adding kmail
to that and mo other way to get it!). However, I think a mail client of
some
sort - kmail or thunderbird etc - should be there for users upon
installing.
The cd mounting issue. This morning, I booted the system and left the cd
in
the drive (bios set to boot from hd, rather than cd). Got Yoper up and
running and the cd icon is on the desktop - but not mounted. Looking at the
properties of the desktop icon, it seems to suggest it is mounting
/dev/cdrom
(correct) at /mnt/cdrom (wrong!). Should that not be /media/cdrom instead?
Fstab points to /media/cdrom for the mount, so maybe this is part/all of
the
issue with the cds not mounting?
Anyway, off to play around with my Yoper system a bit more :)
Mark
