hello list, I just tested the version 2 of the linuxtag-woody-intstall-image from http://people.debian.org/~joerg/lt/images/
I consider myself a _user_. Not someone who has the real knowledge to fix real problems, but I think my view can be helpful anyways (or especially because of this). first of all: great work! up to date software with nearly everything needed. I especially liked, that kernel-image-2.4.18-686 with its dependancies is included. (I had to fix this on an other machine by hand when installed form an other image last week) Futhermore I liked, that ssl-enabled browsers (mozilla-psm, links-ssl) are there, because I have to login at a ssl-site first to get network connection. Some critics remain: * what about a choice between grub and lilo at the installation? grub is included on the CD anyways. * I got asked 3 times which dictionary I wanted to use: first only choice between american/english, then with german included, and the third time with german and ngerman included. Its nothing serious, but not really nice :-) * IIRC, I only checked "desktop-environment" in tasksel and got kde _and_ Gnome installed. Maybe I overlooked something, but a choice would be fine (just like it is between kdm/xdm/gdm) * Had to load kernel-module cmpci (sound) by hand, as usual, but fealnx (ethernet) was not necessary. Not compiled as module, I suppose. * locales did not generate the locales when configured during install and no /etc/environment was present. dpkg-reconfigure locales fixed it, but I think this should not happen. Even after this, I was unable to select german as a language under kde (gnome is totally in german), even with a "fresh" user. * I logged out of gnome with some gnome-terms open and after the next login they appear (too small) but crash immediatly. Same, if I want to start a new one. But htis is probably a gnome-problem and nothing you can fix easily, is it? Same for my mouse-pointer jumping around under X when gpm is installed (had this under some other linuxes, too) * I was glad about those packages included: xine-ui, gimp, bzip2, galeon, cdrecord, grip, gcombust, xmms, gnome-apt and lots more * missing packages: just a wishlist, when I'm too lazy to do the deb-lines in sources.list :) mpg321, sawfish-themes-extra, gtk-themes-extra (both from debain.parsed.net), gtk-gnutella (or any other gnutella-client), fortunes All in all, a fine thing, with wich it is possible to set up a completely usable system without even having net-connection. I will use it for all my future installs :-) so, these were my comments. For answering, please cc: me, as lists.debian.org does not want me on this list :) greetings thomas -- A computer scientist is someone who fixes things that aren't broken.
