Re: [expert] My complaints about MDK 7.0
:~This is constructive criticism for MDK7.0 Too late, sorry.

Well, in "recomended" (now called Authomated) mode installer just tries to make you happy by putting as much as your HD can take to HD.

Yes text install ;- :~#6 Should Let user choose between Postfix and Sendmail. should: rpm -e postfix; urpmi sendmail It is not fancy, graphical, or "during install", but it looks simple enough to me.

Re: [expert] My complaints about MDK 7.0
[cut] Well, in "recomended" (now called Authomated) mode installer just tries to make you happy by putting as much as your HD can take to HD. so does this mean I get to have EVERYTHING installed, if I have, say, 20 GB of free diskspace? I just tried mandrake 7 beta 2 yesterday, but I really, really missed some kind of 'install EVERYTHING' feature. Well, maybe I just overlooked it? btw, I also got the following error (during beta 2 install) when I was just about to set the time zone: "An error has occurred cannot list the available zoneinfos." It happens no matter what install procedure I choose (recommended, cust., expert, - normail, devel., server) I have an Asus P2B mobo running an Intel Pentium II 450 mhz cpu. If anybody cant help me out on this me, please let me know Regards Frederik from Denmark

:~Don't get me wrong, :~I LOVE Mandrake! This is exactly how I understood your message. The point is - 7.0 is too old to discuss its features anymore. cu Denis -- - Dr. Denis Havlikhttp://www.ap.univie.ac.at/users/havlik Mandrakesoft||| e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Quality Assurance (@ @)(private: [EMAIL PROTECTED]) ---oOO--(_)--OOo-

Did you try "text" install and select "custom"? If not, then you have nothing to bitch about. Yes, it would be NICE to have a GUI custom install, but even RedHat's GUI won't let you do a truly custom install. I know. I just installed RedHat 6.2 here at work and to get a custom install I had to select "text expert." Not only that, but it so darned sluggish on the GUI install. John

Re: [expert] My complaints about MDK 7.0
I think Denis strongly recommended NOT using Beta2 and to use Beta3 instead. I may be wrong.

Re: [expert] My complaints about MDK 7.0
I urge all the list members with complaints to take it to Mandrake! The purpose of this list isn't to trash our developers but to help users who need it. Telling the list that this, that and something else doesn't suit *you* defeats the reason Mandrake has a bug report. It is possible, after all, that other users do NOT have your problems with your system. Mandrake developers rock! They give us the hottest, latest bleeding edge technology available. Please, let's support them. Of course if you do not want a Expert users list, that is up to the list. Pj [EMAIL PROTECTED]
