fresh install...
I just installed using a pretty heavy package list.
I didn't use the installer floppy image, as I don't have a mac, so no
macos to boot from :) I untarred the base2_1.tar.gz, and rebooted and
went from there.
Anyway, some issues I noticed:
while configuring many packages that compiled .el (emacs lisp I assume?)
files into bytecode there were many warnings. emacs seems to be working
ok, so I don't know if this is important...
lynx depends on slang 0.99.38 (or something like that)...the only
available slang package I found was 1.2...can something be done about
this? Should I try and recompile the lynx .deb?
When trying to build the ssh .deb, I came across an error in ./configure
complaining about the lack of the xauth binary. It refuses to enable X
support in ssh without this...is this supposed to be in xbase or
elsewhere?
the first reboot after installation, the boot hung on starting anacron. I
had to boot single user and disable it to get the machine to boot any
further.
I can't think of anything else atm, but I'll tell you if I find any other
little quirks..
ttyl,
Josh
