<PRE>These are my own very conchise first impressions:
overall, i'm very impressed with what i see. i thought it'd be worse.
- no rescue (as expected, even though the option is listed)
- when looking at the grub/gfxboot menu?, the text only shows 1 or 2 seconds
after the background
- in installation, the backgrounds aren't anti-aliased (font also looks abit
odd; allthough it could be the vbox)
- diskdrake still has a star icon(also wrong scaled) when saying "use free
space"
- do we need a license agreement? can we not skip this?
- ext4 by default
- no btrfs? (except in advanced setup)
- core media
This screen was never clear to me, and i never selected it, however, perhaps
for iso installation, a mirror repository should be automatically there and
selected by default? so that if there's updates, they can already be used
during installation... ? WDYT?
- i selected HTTP and it installed a few packages so i could enable networking
(2min)
- the partition step kept being highlighted, even when i was configuring
network...
- <A HREF="http://distrib-">http://distrib-</A>
coffee.ipsl.jussieu.fr/pub/linux/Mageia/distrib/cauldron/x86_64 didn't seem to
work when configuring additional media
- KDE choice (very funny artwork :-D )
- installing (5min)
- when configuring, wizard said my password was trivial to guess, even though i
had letter and digits in it with total length 8
- updating after install
- when updating, the messages had tiny fonts suddenly.
- rebooting system
- booting looked fine, nice gfxboot screen (this did not have the 1 a 2 second
delay)
- i do notice F1 F2 F3 but no visible text next to it...?
- because of me having vbox3, the guest machine just crashed when X was
appearing.
- restarting (using safe mode this time), that worked fine into single user
mode
- init 3 (gave some warnings but looked ok generally)
- messages about gpg-agent being started...
- "su -" has the same message
- non-free was enabled by default
- i enabled tainted
- perhaps the iso media should be removed after installation and when updated
media are installed? it keeps requesting for the DVD...
- vim didn't show a color scheme for /etc/urpmi/urpmi.cfg .
- trying to update with urpmi --auto-select showed me that i had an orphaned
package ? kernel-desktop-devel ? odd...
- i noticed sshd wasn't installed by default, neither was bash-completion
- trying init 5 didn't work
- i removed x11-driver-video-vboxvideo
- init 5 said that display manager didn't work
- vbox3 didn't seem to have a way to use a different emulated driver...
I don't really want to upgrade to vbox4, in fear of destroying my other
virtual machines, so compatibility would be very nice...
logs vbox3 guest: (vbox3 is still in 2010.2, so perhaps we should have vbox3
compatibility?)
