The modem is not supported by the USB script.. but if you tell me what the modules you insert to get it works and what is the content id of your /proc/bus/usb/devices i will take care of it as blindy as possible -- MandrakeSoft Inc http://www.chmouel.org --Chmouel

[Cooker] Bugs galore in Linux Mandrake 7.2
Hi, I've just upgraded from 7.1 to 7.2, having tried out a few of the betas before. It looks like some bugs have crept in during the conversion from cooker to full release, so I thought I'd report them here. Firstly, Netscape doesn't start for normal users if Mandrake 7.1 nsmail and .netscape directories exist. Root is fine. I checked all permissions, including the path to /usr/share/doc/HTML/index.html, and nothing was wrong there. I tried deleting my old .netscape and nsmail directories and this this time the window opened but it froze trying to load the splash page. Secondly, the installation process froze when my USB model (Elsa Microlink 56k USB) was plugged in. This is a modem that has been supported by the USB project for some time. I managed to get around it by hitting CTRL-Z at the appropriate time. However, once installed I still have to insert modules manually to get them to work as the USB script doesn't even manage to initialise my USB system. This was also a problem for Mandrake 7.1 and Cooker which I have reported a couple of times. Thirdly, and purely as an aesthetic judgement, the fonts under KDE2 are ugly. Why use "Fixed"? Helvetica and Courier are both available. I tried changing the fonts manually in KDE and only some of them change. I've seen KDE2 looking fine under other distributions, so this is must be a packaging issue. There are others, but this is all I can remember off the top of my head. I'm using Windows (ugh!) due to the aforementioned modem issues. Cheers, -Karl
