7.2b3 on an AMD machine that had no probs on 7.1: 1. Attempt to install additional rpm's failed because installer only looked to an "RPMS2" directory on CD when there was only "RPM" directory. Manual RPM install was OK so this was just annoying. 2. KDE seizes up frequently. Can still move mouse and click on things, but nothing will run and I get an error like "Can't open ____" on some things. Can't tell if this is a KDE2 or a 7.2b3 problem. This was problem on at least two boxes. 3. CUPS failed on install. This was wiered because on my other two boxes, I had no such problem. 4. I was not queried to install 2.4 kernel, and instead 2.2.17 was installed. Why no query for 2.4? 5. One box had new graphical boot sequence, the other two didn't and I could not identify any reason for the difference. Perhaps a good early screen in the install should ask in plain language what options a user wants like: Use graphical startup __ Use Kernel 2.4 __ Use X Windows 4.__ __ etc... 6. Not for me but for newbie users, the install routine is still relatively daunting. Shouldn't goal with such a good install be to allow total newbie to go through process, including disk partitioning, without ever saying "huh?" For the most part the current install succeeds in this, but I still think some more text during the install would help. 7. Lilo and grub, are both necessary? They are both ugly, can't a graphical boot OS chooser be implemented? 8. One box had great installer graphics, the other two had degraded graphics quality (i.e. the text at the top of the installer was blocky). All had at least 8MB graphics boards that are fully supported in linux. Is this a "known issue"?
