Some observations about 9.0 to 9.1 upgrade. I used to have a working ethereal. It no longer works. It now captures frames, but when you click stop, it must hangs. I can never analyze the data I have captured. I just opened rpm drake (which still has the one program borked into 4 pieces instead of one!!!) and removed ethereal. I then attempted to install it again via the borked rpmdrake and it asked for disk 2. No problem, I can't get the cdrom to open. Same as 9.0. that steenkeen magic supermount... without doing a umount /mnt/cdrom. Then I can do an eject /mnt/cdrom and it will open. I stick CDROM2 in the changer and it pops right back out saying it wants cdrom 2! I pop it back in and it does this again. Don't forget I just used this very cd to upgrade with no problems whatsoever. ??
I give up on rpmdrake, go to the cdrom after doing a mount /mnt/cdrom and do an rpm -ivh and it installs just fine. Same thing as before. Hangs. So something appears to be broken. IF it works for others out there, then it must be a combination of other things I have loaded, or the upgrade. I tried 0.9.9-1mdk. 0.9.602mdk wants to be downloaded and it is getting denied. My guess is the servers are all still getting hammered. I still hate the new interface where rpmdrake is now in three pieces. HUGE step backwards from the way it was back in the 8.x days. I hate supermount. The idea is good, but execution is lacking. For instance, from bash cd /mnt. Then wait a full 60+ seconds for it to get past the supermount crap. It may be that ethereal has a bad RPM package, but I doubt it. I'd like feedback on this from anybody that has it working. The new KDE looks very nice, but it appears that the double click close on the upper left icon doesn't work anymore. ? Dunno why.
