Hello, Just installed 9.0rc2 on a Dell P2-350 machine, very basic hardware, and found the following problems I thought would be good to pass on:
1. The boot disk creation code doesn't create a bootable boot disk! This is both from the installer, and also from mkbootdisk. The floppy loads just about all the way, then says it failed. It never tries to access the hard disk. It did have the correct name for the root partition. I even tried this on the machine I had just installed on, and it failed booting from the floppy. Note that there are NO disk errors. 2. Supermount, at least for the CDROM drive, fails with a "I/O Error" when I try to look at /mnt/cdrom. I can manually mount the CDrom fine. 3. I could not locate the pine package anywhere on the disks. 4. The ucd-snmp package wasn't in the servers list. I did check the md5sums of the image files prior to burning, so I'm fairly confident I have accurate disks. Thanks. Bob P.S. not that it is updated or anything, but the only mrtg rpm I could find for Mdk doesn't work at all under 9.0
