I sent the following to mandrake.expert a couple of days ago and was advised there to forward this to cooker.
Installation went well (beta 2). I am still getting use to the new look and feel of KDE 3. I know it is not much different but there are enough differences to slow me down. For instance by default Konquour, by default, does not show the Menu Bar when viewing the users home directory. It took me a bit to remember that "Ctrl M" would solve this issue. I never worked with out this in the past. At the moment there are two issues that are giving me the most trouble. 1) The Mandrake Configuration tool is not working well. It is very slow!! Some sections never seem to open at all. I can not get in to UserDrake from this tool and SMB shares never open. Several other areas seem to have problems too! 2) Trying to solve this problem using Swat I get the message: An error occurred while loading http://localhost:901/: Connection to host localhost is broken I can ping any box on my net including localhost but I cannot see them via Konquour. The network is up and functional. In fact I get the default Apache message at localhost and I can configure cups at localhost:631. I copied the smb.conf from my Mdk 8.2 install which was working flawlessly. I am sort of at a loss as to were to go from here. I have not tried Gnome yet to see if similar things occur there. Thanks for any suggestions. -- "I took myself a blue canoe ..
