Hi I have been looking at rh's new distribution, and there are a few things that I find cucumbersome:
1 When I install a test Cooker, 1.9 GB, from a hd.img it takes about 30 min, a rh7.2, 1.7 GB, from my CDRW HP 9150 => 32, takes 11 min. I think this is because rh has a better way of using my harddrive, an IBM 7200 rpm UDMA 100, but my mobo can only drive it at UDMA 66. I have used no manual change of hdparm, for testing = from the installer. 2 I still think that Cooker is inferior when it is about resolutions for XFree86, and I like the ability to manually add my 32 MB of videoram in rh. In Cooker the default setting for my old PCI TNT2 card is 1280x1024 in 16 bits, when I change this to 24 bits it changes down to 1024x768 -> I have to use 'show all' to get 1280x1024 in 24 bits. If any of you at Mdk is going to test it, check out how they manage a kernel upgrade, I used -ivh for the kernel and then -Fvh for the whole directory of updates, i.e. including all kernel stuff, - and I ended up by both kernels in grub. Seems to be foolproof to me. I don't send this to be negative on Mdk, I like its atitude to try to be at the very front. regards guran -- Mandrake Linux 8.2 Cooker kernel-2.4.12-3mdk 200110221819
