Re: [newbie] 7.2 beta
On Mon, 04 Sep 2000, Mike Tracy Holt put to word: 7.2 is pretty good, lots of good improvements. On 'upgrade' from 7.1 it didn't do so well; wasn't able to detect my network after the upgrade, couldn't setup my printer from the installer (which I've never been able to do) and a few other minor details. When I did the fresh install however, it DID recognize my network and even had a driver/filter for my printer! (Epson 860 on the USB port). On the downside, kde needs LOTS of work (wouldn't close 'x' without ctrl-alt-backspace) and sound doesn't work out of the box though the correct modules were configured and are being loaded. Overall, there are some awesome new features - I would call it more of an 'alpha' release at this stage though. hmmm...sound, printer, network, etc. all working fine here...and no trouble closing kde either...mileage does vary... frank -

I managed to get 7.2 to boot - I had to disable mon from starting up, which is sort of odd. Can't get 7.2 to properly boot one of my other Linux partitions - still working on that.

Re: [newbie] 7.2 beta
Well, 7.2 turned out pointless, I got to the formatting point in the installation and it crashed out flat. I couldn't get around it and I just went back to 7.0, and used all the 7.2 rpms and upgraded my system. Maybe the official release will be better.

Re: [newbie]7.2 beta
this sounds wonderful already. i can see mandrake selling lots of mandrakes real soon :) On Mon, 04 Sep 2000, you wrote: Patrick, It does have kde2, in beta, and the xfree 4.01 installed fine. 7.2 is certainly quirky, since it is still beta - I had to try a few different installs before it would boot, and so far, while my printer appears to get configured (in DrakConf - the printer list during the install was empty), it is ignored by all apps. I also have problems with getting my CD/RW working as well as floppy - the internal ZIP worked fine. But, this does not bother me, as this is the first beta release - I expect to have to do some work. I had problems with booting one of my other OS's , but I got that figured out. Also, while I selected GRUB as the bootloader during install, it started up LILO. I had to run the grub install script to get that in place. cheers, philomena patrick wrote: On Mon, 04 Sep 2000, you wrote: WHEN can we expect it to be released OFFICIALLY (not beta)? unless it's says on that page, then I'm an idiot... philomena wrote: Here's the announcement page: http://www.linux-mandrake.com/en/72beta1.php3 cheers, philomena patrick wrote: [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: reasons i avoid betas and alphas, their more of a pain then the finished bug! can anybody give us some idea of the differences on 7.2 beta thanks pat just read the page. sounds pretty interesting. hopefully it will have kde2.0.
