Comments/Problems:
Okay then; this is a weird scenario.
To get started, i swapped my everyday WD disk with an old 10GB IBM-disk
and tried installing Sarge on that one.
Install went well, apart from loading the 'Select which tasks your PC
will perform'-part that for some reason refused to start from the
installer. So i started it manually from cmdline, made my picks and
returned to the installer for the remainder of installation.
Worked like a charm ;)
I got so impressed, that replacing my Mandrake 10 install became a
matter of 'when', not 'if'... And I've been using Mandrake for the last
five years or so.
So, i set out to do another install - this time on my
everyday-WD-80GB-disk. Here, Sarge must coexist with an EvilEmpire-install.
And this time, averything went A-OK. No hickups, nothing.
Comment: For everyday use, i've gone GUI. The Synaptic
package-management-app is mind-bogglingly-good. Awesome!
Another comment: Sound is still a mess... Managed to get parts of it
going, but ALSA, GStreamer & Gnome seem to be not-so-well-integrated.
Video and ATI; From the start, I chose to forget about 3D-acceleration.
That's a pity, though. What happens on the area of X.org and
RV280-support? It seems to 'be in the making', or am i all wrong?
Yours,
Martin
