Hi, I didn't wait for the new kernel, but here's a short report about a new Recommended Installation from the new ISO image and today's RPMs from ftp.ciril.fr.
The new 'install-gui' looked and worked nice on a 550MHz TiBook. Just some minor cosmetic things: 1) The installer uses 1024 x 768 instead of 1152 x 768 which left black space on both sides of the screen. 2) During X Configuration, the detected monitor was iMac/PowerBook instead of TiPowerBook. 3) After selecting the proper monitor, the default selected resolution was 1024 x 768. These might be general Cooker issues, but after booting to the desktop I noticed: 1) xinetd won't start due to '/usr/sbin/xinetd doesn't exist'. It works after manually creating the link from /usr/sbin/xinetd-2.3.9 2) The Application (root) menu doesn't load in WindowMaker 3) The Mandrake Control Center won't start; the error message is: 'Can't call method "get_widget" on an undefined value at /usr/sbin/drakconf.real line 825' (it's been like that for awhile) 4) KPersonalizer runs each time the KDE desktop loads (it's been like that for awhile) Stew -- Even after a clean installation I still couldn't run your monitor-detect script, so I performed an 'upgrade' to install the development packages (thinking that might be the problem). The upgrade process got stuck when cyrus-sasl was being installed (console 1 showed a full-screen of continuously scrolling errors that I couldn't read, and console 3 said 'bad package cyrus-sasl-1.5.27-6) so I removed that package, regenerated the hdlist, then performed an upgrade without a problem. Unfortunately the script still returns ': bad interpreter: No such file or directory' when I run it. Sorry, but I don't know what I'm doing wrong. Other than that, it looks real nice. Thanks. Bye, Phil Lavigna
