Comments/Problems:
<Description of the install, in prose, and any thoughts, comments
and ideas you had during the initial install.>
I did a "non-expert" install.
At task selection, I chose Desktop and Mail Server. All seemed to go
well at that time, except that it took a very long time at
"configuring printconf".
However:
After the initial reboot, I tried to configure a printer, and
encountered trouble.
From the menu -bar I chose Desktop -> Administration -> Printing
In the Printers window, I chose Printer -> Add Printer
In the Add a Printer (step 1 of 2) window I chose Network Printer ->
UNIX Printer (lpd) and entered the host name and queue name, and
clicked Forward.
In the Add a Printer (step 2 of 2) window the drop down list of
manufacturers was empty. So was the list of Models and the list of
Drivers.
In desperation, I clicked on Install Driver, and the Select a PPD
File window opened but an Error window also opened saying "The
Application 'gnome-cups-add' has quit unexpectedly."
On a somewhat related note, I selected US english and Apple US
keyboard and US/Eastern timezone and in genteral did everything I
could to indicate that I was in the US. Nevertheless, the /etc/
papersize file has "a4" in it. For my environment, "letter" would
have been more appropriate.
Installation log files are available on request.
