Moreso the hazards of having thousands of packages dependent on one another. The dependency tree is a nightmare, and yet still not as complete as it should be. Cheers; Leon

One more *sigh* On a Cyrix MediaGX based system I get a unresolved dependency on the following module: media/video/saa7134.o.gz. -randy

[Cooker] Beta 3 comments.
A couple of comments... 1. After the installer does it's detection of disk interfaces it has the message: Do you have any disk/scsi interfaces? The is poorly worded ( and changed from Beta 2 I think ). It should ask Do you have any additional disk/scsi interfaces. It should also show what interfaces it found, much like the network interface display. 2. No icons on the package selection screen ( even in cooker syncd August 18th am US Pacific std time. ) 3. The printer configuration when using a remote CUPS server should show automatically go out and query the remote CUPS servers and show the printer you are going to select. It's a little awkward. ( Local printer configuration is great...) -randy
[Cooker] Beta 3 comments...
Of course as soon as I install a beta version another release comes out. Oh well. A few things I had run into: 1. drakfont can't import windows fonts. ( or it's taking a real *long* time) 2. I did have the network fail to come up after I took the machine out an overnight suspend. 3. Not as much a bug as a request... The X configurator certainly knows about the display on the thinkpad A20p, but it would be nice if it set up the XF86Config-4 to use all 1400x1050, without having to go to an archived copy... 8 looks like a winner though. -randy

Yes I know html redirections.

I found the same thing with Linuxconf. I tried running linuxconf from CLI term login and it ran fine there.

[Cooker] Beta 3 Comments
I downloaded and installed beta 3 from iso yesterday and I have a few comments. The installation went very smoothly - no problems at all. I thought that the new feature of having someone automatically logged on when booting was good for people used to Windows but new to Linux. Of course I disabled that. :) The whole fit and trim looks very nice. Kudos to the developers! I do have a few problems though: - Webmin doesn't seem to work. The service is started but I can't connect. - Linuxconf doesn't run from DrakConf. Running Linuxconf from a command line produces the error: Incompatible module /usr/lib/linuxconf/modules/pppoe.so.1.18.0 get a new one or recompile it against a recent linuxconf-devel package. Expect API revision 16, got 15. Linuxconf runs, but as soon as I try to do something, such as configure DNS Linuxconf crashes and the following messages appear in my terminal: Error messager from readmin :X Error of failed request: BadWindows (invalid Window parameter) Error message from readmin : Major opcode of failed request: 61 (X_ClearArea) Error message from readmin : Resource id in failed request: 0x0 Error message from readmin : Serial number of failed request: 6924 Error message from readmin : Current serial number in output stream: 7437 I downloaded the SRPM of Linuxconf, compiled and installed it but it didn't make any difference. - Launching Kmail from the menu (both KDE and Gnome) brings up the Compose New Message window instead of the Application. As I find other issues I will send them in... -Chris ---
