To clean off .listing files: * Change to the appropriate directory in your local mirror * Type: find . -name .listing -exec rm -vf {} \; If you want the instructions to clean off EMACSish backups as well, extend the second instruction to say: * Type: find . -name .listing -o -name '*~' -exec rm -vf {} \; I tried 7.2beta1, found a few hiccups (examples: on most installs, neither Konqueror nor most of KDE can be configured from the menus; php-mysql was compiled threaded but apache wasn't; a kitchen-sink install in Expert mode often had errors in packages but installing the same packages on the same machine from the same CD in Custom mode didn't), but in general loved it. At our (PLUG) recent installfest (http://installfest.plug.linux.org.au/), an 8yo visitor found katomic running on a Compaq Armada E500 laptop installed from 7.2beta1 and after about an hour and a half of play while Dad wandered around looking, did not want ot leave and practically had to be carried away. Was sure that the simple alcohol problem on the screen would be resolved in ``only a couple more minutes, Dad!'' -- People are more violently opposed to fur than leather because it is safer to harrass rich women than motorcycle gangs.
