I used the kernel too old pretext to make a fresh install of cooker.
Here are some impressions:
- irritating problem with locales (not missing accentued characters, but
flood of warning messages in background). Can't you use the
/usr/share/locale symlink trick to fix this ?
- additionals language to choose are not additionals, as no one is
initially selected :-), not even the current installation language
- corresponding locales rpm for chosen language are not automatically
installed, whereas it was the case in older mandrake
- expert installation should not have all package groups selected by
default to install at first rpm choice screen: it's a pain to unselect
all manually
- rpm are installed by pack of eight, but should one only fails, all
following in the same group also fails, and there isn't any option to
try again just for the group (either continue or retry everything).
- what's the use of proxy in install ? There's isn't anything kept
thereafter. It should at least set http_proxy env variable in
/etc/profile. And entry should be clearer: no need for protocol prefix
(http://) and distinct port text box.
- mouse init seems to be a lot chaotic : sometimes it works, sometimes
not. Maybe a warning message as "if your lose your mouse, use tab to
select cancel button and try again" would be useful for newbies.
Everything else seems to be OK...
