This function existed in Beta2 of the installer. * A hint about Lilo is displayed that it has to be executed before using it, but I already installed GRUB. Wouldn't it be better to remove this hint? * At the selection of the desired X server driver there is a wrong(?) preselection, namely vesa. Knoppix and SuSE Linux both recommend the savage driver. # # PROBLEMS AFTER INSTALLATION: # * After Restart one has a pleasant surprise: The X-server configuration didn't work. Modifying of /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 was necessary. I had/wanted to change the default colour depth from 24 to 16 and for each colour depth the resolution from a maximum of 800x600 to 1024x768. * Additionaly there was a wrong keyboard layout chosen. The layout was us, pc104, xfree86, but I wanted de, nodeadkeys, pc105, xfree86. After these modifications everything worked just fine. * Another problem is that there exist no entries for the cdrom and the floppy drive in the /etc/fstab. There exist the folders /floppy and /cdrom why not enter the fstab entries automatically? * Another thing was missing, which I already noticed in Beta2: There is no questin whether someone would like to turn of pcmcia when updating. This was and is the case for the english installation. The German installation from Beta2 did ask this question. You can manually configure this by dpkg-reconfigure pcmcia-cs. * By the way: Where is /var/log/boot? * And last there is no questions about locales (dpkg-reconfigure locales). So you have to add locales by yourself and choose your standard locale (in case you wanted UTF8 or something like that) for example. # # # Despite of all this stuff I enjoyed a quite easy installation and hope that you will continue with this great work.
