Re: [Cooker] cooker install comments
I did a new install from sunsite.uio.no rsynch. And here are my new comments. I've included some of my previous comments when I'm modifying what I thought before... This is an expert development install with everything. On Thu, Sep 21, 2000 at 05:08:23AM -0700, Ben Reser wrote: The list of daemons to start is also really hard to use.

I'm running XF86 4.01 and this is in a Gateway Solo 9100 laptop so it's an ATI video card. This is with XF86 4.01 -18mdk Okay I figured this issue out on my own. My internal LCD screen wasn't "off" like it was supposed to be. I'd had my bios set to not turn it on. I'm not sure why it was back on. Weirdness... linuxconf is still messed up as referenced in another thread. On my desktop I have a link to a zip drive but I don't have a zip drive hooked up and there is no /mnt/zip still there.

Re: [Cooker] cooker install comments
Reinstalled tonight from sunsite.uio.no. It works now so whatever the problem was has been solved.

[Cooker] cooker install comments
This was on an expert install of everything. While I did ask for everything. I really do agree with the other people that there should be some defaults. It came with identd and xidentd selected. This is illogical. Now granted I can turn it off but please set some logical defaults. The list of daemons to start is also really hard to use. The scrolling "wraps" around. I.E. if you scroll to the bottom it will keep scrolling back to the top. Which makes it really confusing. Especially if you're trying to use Page Up etc to get around. Also it asks which printer system I want to use. That's nice but it really should ask that before it asks what I want to start so that way it can start out with logical defaults. I.E. if I choose CUPS then it shouldn't start lpd unless I tell it otherwise. Others may disagree this is just my personal preference. This is with cups-1.1.3-2mdk, cups-devel-1.1.3-2mdk and cups-drivers-0.3.6-12mdk I was also impressed when I made the "Auto install floppy" that it worked flawlessly with my SuperDisk in my laptop which in the past floppies have not worked very well with! I was unable to get my LaserJet6P to work with either CUPS or lpd during the install. I haven't tried after the install. This is a printer that's hooked up to a Netgear PS104 printer server. Which supports both lpd and smb printer protocols I tried both. I selected the 1280x1024 resolution but got 1024x768 after the install. :( No matter what I do I can't get 1280x1024, used to work just fine under 7.1. I'm running XF86 4.01 and this is in a Gateway Solo 9100 laptop so it's an ATI video card. This is with XF86 4.01 -18mdk Wahoo clicking on the floppy icon when no floppy is in my superdisk drive doesn't hang the machine like it did in 7.0 and 7.1. When I tried to do a network configuration from linuxconf I get: Error message from remadmin :X Error of failed request: BadWindow (invalid Window parameter) Error message from remadmin : Major opcode of failed request: 61 (X_ClearArea) Error message from remadmin : Serial number of failed request: 7008 Error message from remadmin : Current serial number in output stream: 9806 And then it hangs. Also of note you get a dialog that pops up when you start linuxconf that says: Incompaitble module /usr/lib/linuxconf/modules/pppoe.so.1.18.0 get a new one or recompile it against a recent linuxconf-devel package. Excpect API revision 16, got 15.
