user notes on rc4
I have been playing with rc4 for a couple of days now. I made a few
notes. I have no idea what are bugs, and what are my incompetence and
just needs better instructions. I added etch-test and updated everything.
I am excited by the much better software than on sarge.

Using Skolelinux 3 rc4
Tjener
-Adept - View list (includes Manage Repositories) greyed-out. Logged in
as root.
- Debian Edu (the keys icon) fails certificate
-Lwat
--Adding a user - how do I change the default for usernames? The old
system (firstname + last initial) is better for young kids than the new
3 letters+3letters. Its also easier for people to look at each other's
public folders.
-- Right now I can't add users any more. I get ERROR: unable update
nextID. This is making me panic!
--Adding a machine
you have to know that the machine name should be static01 etc. otherwise
if you try to enter your own name, eg. pc01, you get a warning and it
doesn't work.
-Backup
After logging in I check Status: "ssh keys are not working". I don't
know how to fix this. Backups are not being done.
Thin Client
-no scroll wheel on the mouse
-fonts are attrocious in Iceweasel
-usb drive works if plugged in while logged in, but you have to browse
to media to find it (no desktop icon) and there is no unmount/eject
option. If you plug the drive in before loggin in, it doesn't work.
-No sound on thin client.
-No java in konqueror or iceweasel
-What happened to Pub and Priv folders?
Diskless Workstation
still haven't succeeded in doing it yet. Working on it.
