Re: [Vectorlinux-devel] SOHO-A1.25 is up and ready for testing

[Newt <gen...@gm...>]

Hello,

r800 installer:

I'm super-pleased with this installer and KDE installation. Everything was
installed very smoothly with only a few mostly minor installer bugs I've noticed
(bugs are logged with tracker) - mostly just some minor bootloader installation
inconsistencies but no show-stoppers.

One thing I keep noticing but forget to mention is that the 2nd package selection
screen only lists gutenprint. I feel like there's an entire "step" dedicated to
selecting or unselecting one package. Could it possible be included on the last
package selection screen.

1.25 ISO:

I've mostly focused my testing on the installer so I cannot compare a whole lot
between ISOs, however there are a few little things that IMO could use sprucing.
-VasmCC still crashes when selecting Utilities
-VasmCC should be added to the KDE menu Favorites
-Gslapt should be added to the KDE menu Favorites
-At <1024 resolution width the analog clock is orphaned out of the viewable space.
 I had to zoom out of the desktop and drag it into the viewable space to get it back.
-Some KDE menu options are missing icons (e.g. Opera, wpa_gui, browser, vburn)
-Flash is not working in Opera (I've always needed to install the v9 plugin to
 get proper flash functionality in opera >9.63)
-GIMP is missing. Granted I can understand that not everything can be included
 but I would guess that more folks would use GIMP than Inkscape or Scribus. Since
 this release has pushed well into a second CD I think including gimp would be
 work the extra space.
-Kpackage still requires SMART package manager to function properly.
-CUPS cannot be started from VasmCC
-SAMBA cannot be started from VasmCC (perhaps these issues are related to vasmCC??)
-The grass-blade-with-water-droplet wallpaper is stunning, but my inclination is
 that it is a bit color saturated.

Most of these things are pretty minor. Overall, I think this 1.25 iso with the
r800 installer is a great combination.

Cheers, newt
