Hi,
I didn't wait for the new kernel, but here's a short report about a new
Recommended Installation from the new ISO image and today's RPMs from
ftp.ciril.fr.
The new 'install-gui' looked and worked nice on a 550MHz TiBook. Just some
minor cosmetic things:
1) The installer uses 1024 x 768 instead of 1152 x 768 which left black space
on both sides of the screen.
2) During X Configuration, the detected monitor was iMac/PowerBook instead of
TiPowerBook.
3) After selecting the proper monitor, the default selected resolution was
1024 x 768.
These might be general Cooker issues, but after booting to the desktop I
noticed:
1) xinetd won't start due to '/usr/sbin/xinetd doesn't exist'. It works after
manually creating the link from /usr/sbin/xinetd-2.3.9
2) The Application (root) menu doesn't load in WindowMaker
3) The Mandrake Control Center won't start; the error message is:
'Can't call method "get_widget" on an undefined value at
/usr/sbin/drakconf.real line 825' (it's been like that for awhile)
4) KPersonalizer runs each time the KDE desktop loads (it's been like that
for awhile)
Stew -- Even after a clean installation I still couldn't run your
monitor-detect script, so I performed an 'upgrade' to install the development
packages (thinking that might be the problem). The upgrade process got stuck
when cyrus-sasl was being installed (console 1 showed a full-screen of
continuously scrolling errors that I couldn't read, and console 3 said 'bad
package cyrus-sasl-1.5.27-6) so I removed that package, regenerated the
hdlist, then performed an upgrade without a problem.
Unfortunately the script still returns ': bad interpreter: No such file or
directory' when I run it. Sorry, but I don't know what I'm doing wrong.
Other than that, it looks real nice. Thanks.
Bye,
Phil Lavigna
