1) First reboot produced just numbers (didn't note which ones) so booted from floppy. During installation I don't think I was asked whether to use lilo or grub. /boot/grub/menu.lst and /etc/lilo.conf looked OK so I did the drak thing and told it to use grub (it always says I have lilo although I don't use lilo anywhere). Boots OK after that.
2) I like mcc but it's very slow. Icons often disappear until mouseover. 3) Konqueror file sorting is crazy - treating dotfiles is if there were no dot, for example Desktop is listed before .ee and evolution before .fluxbox. 4) Printer doesn't print. HP845C USB printer correctly detected. I tried the recommended driver: Foomatic + hpijs and CUPS+GIMP-PRINT. KDE Print Manager, administator mode, change driver provokes empty error dialog then carries on as normal. Selected GIMP-PRINT and that works. 5) Speedtouch - seemingly correctly handled at install, with reminder to get /usr/share/speedtouch/mgmt.o. Did this, but then # /usr//share/speedtouch.sh start [FAILED] /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/net_speedtouch.default contained this line: pty "/usr/bin/pppoa3 -vpi -vci " as did /etc/ppp/peers/adsl I corrected them to pty "/usr/bin/pppoa3 -c -m 1 -p -vpi 0 -vci 38" and then it works. -- Mandrake Linux release 9.0beta3 (Cooker) for i586.
