Re: [expert] I am in KDE HELL

Yes, you are right, 9.0 totally F***ed up Supermount, even for me (I disable it on all vanilla 9.0 installs). It was broken on every install I tried (probably 5 or so, including and especially laptops). In the current cooker kernel, Supermount seems to work flawlessly for me on my home box. It also works on my fathers box and he's running the latest cooker too. I can't vouch for it across the board but it seems to have been addressed by now and I haven't heard much about it on the Cooker List (in itself a good sign). As for USB support, I can't comment, perhaps the list can give more insight here...

All the best

Ok, I'm with you now. I know plenty of people who have 9.0 and would
burn it for you for free (if you replaced the CD's for them). I am sure
you do as well. If not, I suggest giving your location (roughly) to the
list to see if there is someone near you who is willing to burn you a
copy of 9.0. From there, simply upgrade the kernel to the cooker one (it
works, I know, I run Cooker at home) and you're all set. I see what you
    

As I understood it (and experienced it) some people were having no problems 
with the 9.0 kernel but there were a large number who found supermount 
partially or totally borked and had to disable it.  Were you among this 
contingent?  If so, are you saying the Cooker kernel fixes the supermount 
problem?  I also have a usb wireless device.  Under the 9.0 kernel, it was 
unreliable and prone to lockups (the device, not the system).  If I can be 
reasonably assured that 1) supermount is now fixed in the Cooker kernel and 
2) usb is updated, then I would consider going with a full 9.0 and 
immediately update to the Cooker kernel.
