[Cooker] install thru nfs on Sparc LX
hello all, after downloading and cd-burning the last beta_test of the mandrake 7.1 for sparc. in my last e-mail, I ask for ppl who already try the install thru nfs. As I get no answer, I decided myself to do the test. Here are the results. First I choose a good machine. LX with 96mb of ram, 1gb of HD. first, I had some troubles with the gateway. mine is 192.168.1.0 so I had to change on both my server and the client to 192.168.1.254 second, I must admit that for the first time, the install is graphic. I tried RH6.1 and RH6.2 without any success. But the interface is very slow... slow. I choose the expert installation. I cannot deselect the vim-enhanced package. If I do it, I went back to the beginning of the package selection, and all my job is gone. I have to make my choice again. I deselect KDE in the general setup. But I still have to deselect a lot of KDE packages if I choose also to choose individually all packages. If I deselect enligthment, the dependency tool said that he will unselect any E-packages except enlightment-conf ? Is there any reason for that ? Once again, I didn't found any gnorpm in the mandrake. Same politics I suppose as for x86 distro ? Tell me if I'm wrong. But is there any people who got a wheel mouse on a sparc machine ? I'm not talking about UltraSparc. So if I'm right, does imwheel should be in that kind of distribution or selected by default ? During the rpm installation, the man_page_fr took about 5 mins to install ? is it normal or not ? For the installation of SILO as boot loader, the comment at the bottom of the interface is talking about LILO or GRUB, but for Sparc it is only SILO. X isn't tested... :-( And after the restart, I cannot boot the system... :-( So, I tried to do an upgrade of my system to finish correctly the primary installation. If you try to do an upgrade of your system and you set the locale to french. you got this message: perl:warning: Falling back to the standard locale "C" perl:warning: Setting locale failed perl:warning: Please check that your locale settings. I unckecked all the update packages. But mtools still want to be install. I still cannot test X. And SILO is not correctly installed... By the way, why not creating a boot floppy ? As the ended word, I have to say that I really impressed by the job done for a beta version. But I cannot boot my system... Did I miss something some where ?

RE: [Cooker] Wheel mouse and XF4
probably, due to the fact that the way to do the configuration is the same. I mean the lines to add in the XF86Config and the imwheel stuff. So in theory, that should work but I never tried. regards franck On 01-Aug-00 Thomas Smets wrote: IS is also working on 7.02 ?
