beta2, beta3 /mnt folder contained floppy and cdrom. Now nothing. Tried
nautilus, gmc, su filemanager. Can't access it with xmms then, weird
cause CD Player will play a CD, rpmdrake will use it. Sometimes there
are paper icons in the /mnt folder for them, but when click on them get
errors.

Hi.
I found two big problems in installer from RC1.
First (and most serious): I tried on an old box (Pentium166), with an ISA ne2k clone
for ethernet. It is not PnP, so I hardcode the IRQ and must pass it to ne.o.
When installer asks me to select a a NIC, I select NE2000, installer tries
Any chance /etc/sysconfig/apmd CHANGEVT could default to 0?

Other than that that this looks like a winner so far.

Just installed from latest RC1 and after I configured the my printer I

This was a fresh install of beta3 upgraded to rc1.
What happened to the default eazel theme? Gnome defaulted to the ugly
original theme that does not match Kde's. Why do I think this is
important, because it removes polish from the distribution that I believe
is important for acceptance
/etc/sysconfig/autologin for reading: no such file or directory at
/usr/lib/libDrakx/bootlook.pm line 274.
The cheese theme for gnome is blurry.
Also the peoples faces brings back memories of the good old cga days, this
is also true for the faces used in kdm.

You shouldn't be using 24 or 32 bit colour depths on a laptop, it's just
slowing down rendering time, as your LCD does not support that many colours.
In the lastest RC1 running gnome and using gmc as the file manager
you can not access the contents of any cd through /mnt/cdrom.
The directory structure of the cd will be displayed but if you
attempt to open a directory you are auto taken to a display of /.
This happens as both user and root.

Hi,
The installer is looking really good now (except the package chooser
ofcourse!). The screens which are displayed while installing are really
really good.. they give the user a lot of information about linux mandrake
and linux in general.. but maybe you should put more of them to last
Any plans for rc-1 iso release now?
I can't wait to hook my friends up with this distro - This is by far the best
ever and I've tried a lot of distro's.
The way I see it - mandrake just made linux easier to use than windows is.
