Easy install - just a few problems...
1) Why can't we have a separate partition fo root anymore? I keep a lot
of configuration files in there and they're lost when / is formatted.
2) 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 error dialog:
Unable to start the creation of the driver database. The execution of
make_driver_db_cups failed. It gives this dialog twice, then carries on
as normal.
I checked modules loaded: lp, parport_pc, parport, printer OK.
3) 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
but adsl still would start. There seems to be some confusion over whether
to load modules uhci or usb-uhci. Now usb-uhci is blacklisted in hotplug
but preferred in /etc/init.d/usb.
Next bootup adsl started OK but doesn't restart after stopping.
4) Desktop icons for removable devices are useless. Click produces
Unable to enter file:/mnt/{floppy,cdrom,cdrom2}. You do not have access
rights to this location.
5) lbreakout2 cna't use sound - the sound button is greyed. This is
*very* serious.
6) kivio can't connect objects.
5) No euro in X for en_GB.
