I have installed LM8.2 over the weekend and so far everything works great. Well I think so, but the logs are not so sure... During bootup my ADSL link is brought up (takes ~30seconds though, but this is the same time as under 8.1) but the boot output says "Checking internet connections to start at boot [FAILED]" or something close. The link seems to work fine though. Looking in /var/log/messages shows the link coming up successfully, but with a the same failure result. Any ideas how I could clean this up? Its not a big deal, but it looks a bit odd.
Trying to bring the link up manually in MCC always says that it has failed after about 5-10 seconds, but the connection does usually some up after 25-30seconds. I thought one plus point for ADSL was the quick connection time. Does anybody else see connection times as long as a 56K modem? I'm using Pipex over BT in the UK. The only other problem I had is that my VIA82cxxx sound would not work, so I put my trusty PCI16 soundblaster back in, which is way better anyway. 8.2 looks the best yet. Well done Mandrake! Thanks, Nick.
