Not a happy story. I tried to do an upgrade. I got an error msg that
said something was to big or words to that effect. Then for what seemed
to be at least 2 min the DVD drive flashed continuously. Then the
welcome to mageia appeared and install started. It went to 10 sec and
stopped. Tried a reboot. Didn't work. I tried to do the upgrade again.

Probably would have worked, if you waited longer. It's processing all of
the
rpm triggers from the updated files, and removing the old versions of the
packages from the system.
On an upgrade of around 2200 packages, on my old i586 system, that delay
is almost 20 minutes.
Interesting. I shall remember that. The error msg at the beginning and
the erratic times to go made me think there was a problem. I have almost
all my old programs running.
Didn't work. Finally had to do an install. First problem was the
thunderbird icon. After installing the program I copied the icon from
the list of programs to the desktop. The icon is now hidden behind the
trash icon and I can not move or delete the trash icon to get to the
thunderbird icon. I just rt clicked on the desktop and did an icon sort
and managed to get thunderbird out. There is now an icon behind trash
that I don't use very much. I will now have to reinstall some programs
that I used in mageia 1.
I've encountered similar problems in the past. It seems to be caused by
mixing regular desktop icons and widgets in kde4. I move things like the
trash widget to the lower right, and then lock the widgets.
The trash can will not move no matter what I try.
Thanks, Gary
