This morning I updated my 7.2 partition that was broken from the
kde-2.0.1 update. So far this new version of kde (2.1-0.20010101.1mdk)
works great, letter perfect. The menu bar at the bottom of the screen
decided that it wanted to be about an inch up from the bottom after the
update and restarting X. But after futzing with it for a while, I
deleted my .kde directory, logged out, restarted X, and logged back in.
Perfect. Thanks for the support getting this thing fixed. Sound which
was broken with 2.0.1, works nicely. Ditto for the network.
Oh, yes, before I forget, cups works great. With the new driver for my
hp895 inkjet, I get fantastic resolution and all of the programs that I
have printed from so far work great. usb connection functions fine for
the printer also with the new cups updates.
7.2 has finally matured to point where it can be counted on by me.
Thanks again to all who contributed (or bitched - just another way of
contributing)
