1) First reboot produced just numbers (didn't note which ones) so booted
from floppy. During installation I don't think I was asked whether to
use lilo or grub. /boot/grub/menu.lst and /etc/lilo.conf looked OK so I
did the drak thing and told it to use grub (it always says I have lilo
although I don't use lilo anywhere). Boots OK after that.
2) I like mcc but it's very slow. Icons often disappear until mouseover.
3) Konqueror file sorting is crazy - treating dotfiles is if there were
no dot, for example Desktop is listed before .ee and evolution before
.fluxbox.
4) Printer doesn't print. HP845C USB printer correctly detected. I
tried the recommended driver: Foomatic + hpijs and CUPS+GIMP-PRINT.
KDE Print Manager, administator mode, change driver provokes empty error
dialog then carries on as normal. Selected GIMP-PRINT and that works.
5) Speedtouch - seemingly correctly handled at install, with reminder to
get /usr/share/speedtouch/mgmt.o. Did this, but then
# /usr//share/speedtouch.sh start [FAILED]
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/net_speedtouch.default contained this line:
pty "/usr/bin/pppoa3 -vpi -vci "
as did /etc/ppp/peers/adsl
I corrected them to
pty "/usr/bin/pppoa3 -c -m 1 -p -vpi 0 -vci 38"
and then it works.
