For me is the same! I can't complete a BIG download that others 140 Mb
are on the way :(
Please, is possible to check packages before uploading?
I'm thinking to XFree86 libs some days ago...
Or cups... and kernel-2.2.17-4mdk/5/6/7/8/9.... 10 is better thing, just
some minute on ftp before 11.
You are right, this is a development version but... this is too much
for me!
I think that's not usefull to upload lots and lots of untested
packages.
After 28/08/2000 the instalation does not work on my VIA 694 with USB
enabled but... I have 2 cd that works, the latest that I can burn!!
Now I'm not able to do absolutely nothing
Finally, yesteday, I have burned a new CD... that does not work:
Do you have... scsi?
No
Unable to find a partition for Cooker.
Stop :(
This happened with "install" or "upgrade" :(
Logitech or Intellimouse works, but I have to select it... the pointer
disappear... press cancel using keyboard, select standard PS/2 and OK...
move the mouse... back to Intellimouse... back to PS/2... and also the
pointer is back. Now I can select Intellimouse.
I'm not talking about "frozen" beta, just speaking of "tested" upgrade
that we can use for testing.
On my system I need to compile every day, and also I have to do some
job: make web pages, send and receive fax, write commercial letters..
But after 28/08 I have an unstable system that still downloading
24 hour a day!
I'm not new with Cooker, last year the updates comes out much slow and are much
more "stable" / usable.
Ok, I know, someone can tell that this is under development. But why you
don't exchange packages "internally" and put updates only when the big
mistakes are solved?
Excuse me for this english :-))) I'm not yelling :-)))
