Re: 8.2 install report
Further stuff: No symlinks exist for /dev/cdrom and /dev/dvd, had to create those (to /dev/hdb in my case). Then eject command worked. Also played DVDs successfully and at full speed with Xine (great work!!). The volume, light and eject buttons do not work even though I installed the daemon for it. Have to check if it is running later. Still very annoyed it hangs in sleep mode, it didn't in 8.0... :-) Otherwise it seems like a more solid release. -- http://www.edlund.org/

HE Airport is so easy to get working it really should be automatically setup HE during install.

Then I just can do ifup eth1 and Airport is working HE without hazzle. If I choose that I have another Ethernet card that is has detected the gmac card, and then select Apple Airport from the list I get, Airport is setup automatically. Good. -- http://www.edlund.org/

Install program should ask if you want to use Linux or Mac keycodes. What is the way to change to Mac keycodes now? Airport is so easy to get working it really should be automatically setup during install.

Then I just can do ifup eth1 and Airport is working without hazzle. When I close the lid or press a sleep button (in some program) and then wake the computer up, either by opening lid or pressing a key, then the screen is frozen (I can see this by that the clock in WindowMaker is not ticking), and the keyboard has no effect. I can move the mouse cursor though, but clicking has no effect. I had to do a hard reset. Known problem? I've had those same pmud problems since the 8.2beta1 release. I did post them here and there was a pmud update, it didn't fix the problem for me. The only way i can get pmud to work on the ibook is to use one of benh's kernels. You even get a nice little bat meter in status bar and acurate readout for charging-useage etc. But if i use that kernel my Speed touch modem refuses to work, which sucks. Everything eles works though, very well. COlin
