I really just wanted to comment on the USB Module issue that you
mentioned.

I have a USB Trackball on one of my machines at home.  It runs
amazingly!  I mean it's so smooth, and really fast.  BUT!!  Sometimes,
in the event of a reboot, it doesn't like to load the USB interface.  It
actually hangs there and won't continue.

I reset the machine, it then starts to boot again.  After it scans the
partitions and goes through boot, this time it gets to the USB interface
and loads it just fine.  

Is this what you're experiencing?  Once I get that machine booted, I
have no problem and it's smooth and stable.  But if I reboot it,
sometimes eth0 doesn't come up.  Normally it freezes there.  Or it will
come up with eth0 and then give me an error with eth1, but freeze at USB
interface.  Normally a reset and then try and boot clears that up.

Are you having that problem?  I'm not sure why it happens, I just know
it's happened to me a few times and I've actually gone through and got
the machine booted.  I'm not sure if this part of the beta either.  I
installed Beta two and had no problem installing or booting on the
machine with the USB trackball.  But I wanted to tell you that story.
You may just need to reset and start the boot all over to get that USB
mouse to pop up.

| Generally speaking everything is shaping up rather nicely however I 
| experienced the following problems.
| 
| 
| Internet Screen on Install
| Setting up a network connection behaved the same as it did in beta 1 in
| that it allowed me to enter all the internet data but when I selected 
| OKthe input form remained on the scren and I had to cancel back out - 
| but all the data transfered and I was able to get a connection.
| 
| USB Module
| Could not load the usb modules. During install the program automatically 
| identified my USB wheel mouse but when it rebooted after install the USB 
| modules weren't loaded so I had to put a PS2 mouse back when the 
| configue screen poped up. It is an AMD USB module. Do I have to ecompile 
| the kernel in order for it to work.
| 
| Mozilla
| Mozilla problem. When I 1st installed I only installed the browser and
| it worked. On the second install I installed the mail part and it would
| not run from the menu. I then selected /usr/lib/mozilla-bin and it came
| up, converted all my netscape data and then it would also work from the
| menu icon after that.
| 
| Logon Screen
| I noticed the font on the logon screen differs depending on whether you 
| installed Xfree 3 or 4. The font in xfree 4 seems larger and almost bold 
| in appearance compared to Xfree 3.
| 
| Express Install
| When I installed using this mode everything seemed to go well until I 
| booted and found the default screen color set at 256. When I tried to 
| change it using Drakconf the system froze when the pop-up appeared to 
| enter root password.Had to reinstall.
