Overall, the 8.2 upgrade was smooth as glass, but where it did fail, I probably only recovered by being expert. This is on a Dell L700CXE
First off, this is an upgrade of a system that has been upgraded with each release since 7.0, so if we're generating cruft, this system has run into it ;) 1) First boot seems to hang right after loading nfs, but hitting return puts the screen on the console login; probably appears to stop there because of (2) 2) GDM failed to load because the agpgart module was not loaded when X started; this is odd -- is it because depmod -a was not run? If I log in as root and modprobe agpgart, gdm will start on the next refresh 3) using diald, there is a monitor pipe /tmp/diald.fifo, and for some reason, this has to be deleted before diald will even attempt to connect; could there be some change in pipes in ext2? Very curious this one. 4) XFConfig-4 loses the Emulate-3-button setting and there's no obvious way to get it back. That's it (so far) I ran KDE, but I don't really use it, so I can't comment. It started, that much I know. -- Gary Lawrence Murphy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> TeleDynamics Communications Inc Business Innovations Through Open Source Systems: http://www.teledyn.com "Computers are useless.
