Hello Terrapin, Monday, Monday, September 20, 1999, you wrote: Terrapin Sounds good.

So be carefull in beginner mode it's quite simple. For example if it detects lilo or dos on MBR or an empty one, it installs lilo there without asking! The graphic configuration is quite easy too: - detection of pnp monitors - default resolution chosen based upon the monitor size - diskdrake in beginner mode is simplified too (no more `Format', nor `Active', neither `Mount') - test without asking in beginner mode. So now, all you have to do in beginner is wait for the question `Is it ok?' and answear yes and that's it. runlevel 5 by default of course :) Anyway, you can always (or will be able to soon) go back and choose something else. That way, installation is a piece of cake! I'm gonna try a blindfold install soon :) A big question mark button has appeared and will soon give more help. cu Pixel. PS: by the way, diskdrake has now a front-end to rescuept to recover your partition table in case of problem. It is still beta though... Could the program also function as an upgrader? I mean here if hardware gets changed can it upgrade these settings??? I would imagine a videocard change will equally stump a beginner (g). And I still think if not done yet that some program like this if run on an installed system could be used to do loads of stuff people would like to do in an easy way, like soundcards and stuff like that. I know, we can do it by hand but it should be easier for the beginners. Best regards, tracer mail to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] NOTE: 1 MAILRUN PER DAY ONLY

Takacs Sandor I didn't see the current version, but I have a question: How can we add a Takacs Sandor hungarian translation to the panoramix install? I guess they will consider you volenteering for it (g) Pixel, I have some files as used in Thailand to use with Redhat as they seem to consider standard Thai setup a bit crude due to deviating characters, words joined together etc etc. I cannot read it anyway but if you want me to attach those directly to you somewhere to look at in case it is usable for a future cooker let me know.

XFdrake which the X configurator part does already works that way. diskdrake do it of course :) Other parts will hopefully be integrated as configuration tools after install-time. thanks, cu Pixel.

PS you will note that the japanese keyboards are missing; not that japanese

PS etc keys misconfigured can be quite annoying...
PS so I'm very interested in a descript of the layout of the japanese
PS keyboards as used by Toshiba in its laptops for example.
All I an tell you here is that acc to our japanese customers what they
type seems to be very easy to do on an English/USA keyboard.
I asked that as well as we sold a few multibooting
Japanese/English/Thai systems and essentially acc to them it wasnt
worth it getting a japanese keyboard. They seem to type more or less
the way it sounds with ABC letters and out pops japanese... So I was
told!
On the other hand I would PROBABLY be able to get you a normal PC keyboard
layout if that helps. Asuming Ms got it in one of their japanese
manuals.
if a MS keyboard file for Japanese helps, just let me know.
I happen to have those...
By the way there are 2 types of keyboards in Thailand. But I have
never seen one of them...

This great little thing let me manually rebuild my partition CLM table and get my SuSE back (along with all my MP3s and home directory!!) thats the most interesting part.. where an one find this useful tooland can it be part of cooker... CLM All I did was boot with the latest hd image (with the cooker distribution CLM on another drive which thankfully didn't get hosed). I chose expert mode, CLM no scsi. When the partition tool came up, all I did was hit "done" because CLM I didn't want to do any partitioning (I already had my partitions setup, CLM thank you very much!)
