Comments/Problems:
Unfortunately, I had access to this notebook not long enough to have
a closer look at the problems. However, considering the base system
and hardware recognition, D-I did at least as good as or better than
the SuSE 9.1 live CD or Knoppix 3.4. Congratulations!
(1) the ethernet was detected and configured, the WLAN was
detected but not configured.
(2) the existing WinXP on NTFS was not recognized, I had to add
it manually to the GRUB menu.
Other bugs: - the full name of the first user is requested twice
in the mask
- not all strings are translated to german
- after tasksel: lots of untranslated stuff, and a
cumbersome X configuration. There was not enough
time to test Kenshi Mutos new X configurator.
- I had to use vesa X server, and mouse setup was
far from perfect. Repeatedly, when logging off from
a KDE session (did not test any other window manager),
the kernel panicked :-( Thanks to journalling, this
did not cause much harm :-)
Regards,
Herbert
