[Mageia-dev] Alpha-1 Comments

Tue Mar 15 00:46:23 CET 2011

Hi all...
+
+First of all, nice work, people !! Hope all version 0 alphas were like
+this...
+
+I know I'm late for Alpha-2, but here are some comments about the install
+of alpha-1, hope they are useful for beta-1 if they are not already fixed.
+For the missing packages, probably they are things accessible through
+repos once installed, but some I think they should be in the ISOs...
+
+Here we go:
+
+- lsb-release, it looks like the standard way of versioning...
+- Is the format of /etc/release stable yet or will it change ? If it is not,
+  you could add 'zeroes' where they should go. IE, if you ever plan to do
+  a Mageia 1.1 relase, please call this 1.0 instead of '1'.
+- could dmidecode be in the iso ?
+- same for gpm, could it be installed and enabled by default on the final
+  installed system ?
+- missing gnome things, like gnome-themes or gnome-panel, but I suppose this
+  is already fixed (btw, I seem to remember that Anne sent a URL for the
+  Alpha2 package list, but I have not been able to recall it from my mailbox...)
+- this is artwork matter, but, plzzz could you put the installer metal grid
+  background as GDM/KDM background also ? I liiiiike it ;)
+- a question: will mageia use systemd by default or not ?
+
+TIA, and good Alpha 2 !!
+I'm hitting reload in my browser to see the ISO appear ;).
