You asked for it....... i just did a fresh install of the development tree: Workstation install... no custom packages /home and /usr/local partitions unformated / /boot /var /usr all formatted clean 1)firstboot in graphical mode traced back on my in the Activation module. I'm going to have to go back and run firstboot again and take a digital image so i can transcribe the traceback text before I can file this. 1a)firstboot in text mode mostly worked... the soundcard detection didnt, and the tui interface for the printer setup left some ascii art artifects when switching "screens"... things like text dialog buttons lingering into the next text screen when choosing the printer location and driver. test page printing worked in text mode firstboot 2)no cdrom or floppy mount points were created. /dev/fd0 device is created.. but fstab doesnt have an entry for it. /dev/hdb is my cdrom drive and it mounts correctly using mount on the commandline but no /dev/cdrom link is created and no fstab entry. I'm really starting to think my idea for a command called "give-me-my-floppy-back-now-damn-it" would be a good idea 3)plugging in usb devices and i dont get an fstab entry on hotplug. udev is creating the sdX and sgY devices. I've commented on this before and the problem is still there. I have to forcible restart haldaemon to see updated fstab entries for usbdrives.. I was hoping what i was seeing before was an artifact of something i did on my fc3t1 based install. But I'm still seeing this with a fresh install directly from the development tree. 4)opening the Computer icon on my desktop is making nautilus peg a cpu at 99% until i forcible kill nautilus. Haven't seen this before. Anyone else seeing this? 5)usb scanner still seems to work, shockingly. 6)looking for a way as a user to set a default printer.... I'm not seeing anything obvious... anyone got any pointers to the right menu item or whatever im suppose to use to do that now? 7)gnome-theme-manager is crashing on me again... damn! I had a bug open on this and I thought it was no longer occuring i was sooooo ready to go back and close it. running strace g-t-m in a terminal makes the crashing stop...i'm still grotesquely fascinated by that. I think thats about it on initial findings. -jef"<kingston trio>where have all my floppy drives gone.. long time passing... when will they return... when will they return</kingston trio>"spaleta
