A few comments on RC1 of 8.0
First off in the slides that run during the package installation, The
wording needs to change.
"Thanks to have chosen Linux-Mandrake" Just doen't sound right. how
about "Thank you for chosing Linux-Mandrake" or something along those
lines.
Second, On my system during the install and normal running I constantly
get console messages:
"usb-uhci.c: interrupt, Status 3, frame 716" the last number varies on
every message.
My system is has a Epox 8kta mainboard with a duron 700. I use a
logitech wheel mouse - usb. also plugged into usb is my HP 882C inkjet.
Third, the I boot into X with kdm, the user list includes all the
"builtin users" along with the created ones, ie it includes alias,
axfrdns, dnscache, dnslog.........
and finally, in a gnome session I like to use the menu bar at the top,
and the programs menus are all messed up. They have the normal gnome
menu's at the top, and then a seperater with the mandrake menus that are
not common with the gnome ones, and then a nother seperator with the
normal mandrake menus. the gnome menus are merged with the mandrake
ones, meaning in "Applications" I have the gnome apps, plus the normal
mandrake sub-menus. Menu Drake and gnome menu edit both seem to not be
able to help this problem. The Mandrake Menus section should be removed
since they are all already there/merged with the gnome menus.
this all leads to a lot of confusion.
Below is a listing of what my menu looks like when I click on "Programs"
from the menu panel in gnome:
