What is 'reinitialising'? When i go into mcc/server configuration/samba i am told that samba is not installed (this happens EVERY time) and to click 'ok' to install.

Re: [Cooker] Samba problems with RC2
urpmi confirms that samba is installed yet webmin tells me that the smb.conf was not found in /etc/ Doing a search for smb.conf on my system finds it in /etc/samba/ so after updating the module configuration in webmin, I can see my samba settings and they appear to be okay. Why is the smb.conf file not in the usual location? Why do i have to keep reinitialising it everytime? Will this be fixed in rc3?

[Cooker] Minor bugs with RC2
Just a couple of things i have noticed with RC2. 1. Doing expert install, when the choices for xfree are shown, they are listed as 3.3.whatever and 4.2.0. Should this not be 4.2.1? 2. Network auto detection asks you to choose your network card, then, if you press 'cancel', it chooses the correct driver for you. A newbie would get to the choices menu and give up! I only discovered this by accident because I dont know what driver my card uses and thtis didnt happen in 8.2 Can't wait for my 9.0 Prosuite DVD to drop through my door!

[Cooker] My faith in mandrake has returned
Just installed and tested RC2. Wow! After the dismal failures of B1,B2, B4 and RC1, I was not looking forward to installing RC2 but I have been proven wrong. Everything appears to work fine. A couple of bugs/gripes though: 1. After installing software, the cdrom cannot be unmounted except by root. I assume that the package installer is grabbing it and not releasing it afterwards. 2. I have a USB2 external cd-rw. Occassionally, the special device /dev/scd0 could not be found and would require a reboot before i could use it. 3. Sawfish cannot be configured. Click on the sawfish config icons and zilch, no hard drive action, nothing. 4. After enabling sound server and audio through the gnome control panel, I had to shutdown and reboot before any sounds would appear. Other than that, I am impressed.

[Cooker] My tuppence worth on Beta 4
Dear All, I have just downloaded and installed beta 4 and here are things that I found wanting or are on my wish list. I did an expert install, partitioning type - server, installed KDE, Gnome, Open office, webmin, samba, tightvnc, gcc etc. Installing. Default for partition type is ext2, how about ext3 instead? User's ID icons are now photos instead of cartoons. Bring back the cartoons - they look better! Network config wizard - I chose auto detect but was then asked to choose my network card. After pressing cancel, my card was then identified and configured. Print queue choices - LPR has disappeared yet the package is on the cd's LCD display not auto detected. Video card - why ask for confirmation - 8.2 didn't do this! Updates downloaded and installed okay. Post install No splash screen except for main boot options Package install works intermittently. Package install and uninstall - why split them up. People want to sometimes do both at the same time. Drakeverything fails with segmentation faults except for drakbug Drakbug - why use mozilla? If people use konqueror, then will it still work? No USB devices found (i have epson perfection 1650 scanner and cd-rw, both work under 8.2). usbcore and usb_storage modules both loaded. Software update failed to even start. Open office worked well. KDE Nice icons and background! Sound mixer missing - lost? No sound until desktop settings wizard is run Xine dies after initial splash screen Gnome Nice to see the return of gnome-toaster! Control centre is missing. With 8.2 the basic control centre was there and for any more, control-centre-extras had to be installed. No sound even though sound servers where initialized. Sound card modules are loaded okay Gnome / MDK menus - why not merge them properly. It just looks messy this way Three attempts to logout If anybody wants more info, email me and tell me precisely what you need to know.

[Cooker] Dear Beta developers
How often can i expect updates for bugs found and reported? When is beta3 expected and do i have to download the iso files or will mandrake update get the updates for me? -- Richard Burt PC Support Services (Scotland) 11a Lauderdale Street Edinburgh EH9 1DF T: 07950 401 570 F: 07950 400 081 W: www.pc-support.uk.com E: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Virus scanned by edNET.

[Cooker] Gnome file associations
When i click on an rpm file to install, a message comes up telling me that there is no associated program for it and sends my to the file associations part of control centre. After choosing software installer in the 'default action' drop down menu, it refuses to keep the association for rpm/software installer -- Richard Burt PC Support Services (Scotland) 11a Lauderdale Street Edinburgh EH9 1DF T: 07950 401 570 F: 07950 400 081 W: www.pc-support.uk.com E: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Virus scanned by edNET.
Re: [Cooker] draktools fail without floppy
If you disable the floppy drive through the BIOS, does it still fail?

[Cooker] Mandrake 9.0
Why is the gnome control centre so well hidden? It should be under coonfiguration / gnome instead of '> what to do?'.

Just downloaded and installed Beta 2 and found a few things missing. 1.Control centre/scanner config: Epson is missing from list. 2.Control centre/boot/boot config: Click on icon but nothing happens. 3. Control centre/system/fonts: Again, nothing happens. 4. USB: No USB at all (worked in MD 8.2)!!! -- Virus scanned by edNET.
