<PRE>I successfully installed alpha 1 from the brand new iso DVD. Install
goes smoothly, but after booting the system, I come to a screeming stop:
When I try to run urpmi (from a console) for installing update packages,
urpmi refuses with the message that the hal daemon is not running.
rpm -q in fact confirms that hal is not installed (I had done a
perfectly standard KDE install). Doing "urpmi hal" gives the evident
result: it lists 9 packages to be installed (among which is hal) but
then fails because the hal daemon is not running.
That puts a stop to any further testing. Is there a work around that
allows to install hal while the hal daemon is not running?
I have seen a second problem: although I have configured my system with
an expliciteyly specified host name, the shell prompt says localhost
(and typing "hostname" echoes "localhost"; nevertheless,
/etc/sysconfig/network contains as its HOSTNAME=<host> line the value
for <host> that I had specified.
I will file a bug on the hostname problem - the hal problem looks so
primitive that I have doubts wheter I did not do something wrong when I
did my install (but I consciously kept my install to an obvious "newby
install" - i586, Dell Optiplex 755 desktop). I suspend filing a bug
until I get some echo to this message.
