Thus leaving a printer configuration that won't work if you are using a network printer. 7. Video card selection does not show the determined card without scrolling ( Rage 128 mobility ) 8. default font's in use on my A22p ( 1600x1200 ) for kterm are really odd. They are short and wide.

But this does'nt happen when using rpm, and the machine is alive, responding to ping etc. but could'nt read from the disks, and happens under high load(not very high, just compiling something could trigger it ), at first I thought it was a gcc-3.2 issue, but when trying with kernel-enterprise-2.4.18.6mdk-1-1mdk this also happened, so I'll guess this might be related Works just fine on my dual Athlon MP system running *fresh* B4: Kernel 2.4.19-5mdkenterprise on a Dual-processor i686 / \l Tiger MPX, IDE based, with Promise 133 as well. -Rand E

Actually very nice. Have installed on a ThinkPad a22p and on my dual PIV system. Both installs went cleanly. This release is looking good. My only complaints lie in some long standing quirks: 1. I have a Matrox G450 with a ViewSonic PS790. With KDE ( haven't tried GNOME ) the fonts on the titlebars/menus/desktop are really big and bold.) In the past I've tweaked the display geometry to match what X showed on my old system ). I can tweak KDE so the fonts aren't so out of sync with the rest of the display ( which the fonts are fine, xterms are fine, mozilla is fine, as well as emacs ) 2. Printer selection. If you have a CUPS server running it would be nice if that was shown immediately as a default printer. ( You don't really see it until after you exit out of the other printer choices) -randy

[Cooker] DrakX V1.707 issue.
Tried doing an install on two different systems and they both hang after selecting English/United States. One system I let stand 5 minutes before I rebooted it. ( One system was a ThinkPad A22p with a 1GHz P/// and another system is a NS Geode based sbc system.) Can't do much testing if I can't install... -randy

I finally got it working by using dans guardian! The only thing I have to check is if the default works correctly. I set dansguardian to the default squid port and moved squid to listen to 8080.

In the network configuration if a network is set to a private net address could it automatically tag that one as LAN and the other interface ( if a 2 interface machine ) set to LAN.

Ok let's add one more item... When adding a rule through the GUI it seems to want to change the source/dest zones away from what the user specifies.
