Updated local files through mirror a few hours ago (ftp.kddlabs.co.jp).
Created anew a boot disk and installed from scratch.
Problems encountered
1. Network Configuration Wizard during install is broken (has been since
three days ago).
2. Software Manager on X still won't install anything (uninstall works
fine). This has been the case since my first cooker full install (from 6
days ago)
3. that "awk" error message during bootup and shutdown is back (was fixed
in cooker 2 days ago)
Another small thing:
Shouldn't there be a 3rd choice on Time/Region Setting during install? Most
people have their clocks set on local time but there are only 2 choices
available (set to GMT and set to NTP). Help text message below says
something about a supposed No choice for Windows-shared systems but no
select option is presented.
