Re: [Vectorlinux-devel] VL6.0-SOHO-A2.iso

Hello All,

Just some notes from an A2 test install:

Before installer:
-F1 (boot) menu could use updating - seems a little dated with the 'ide' option
-vxconf resolution selection now includes 1680x1050 - great!

Installer:
-still can reproduce the ISO fail to find media issue. I doubt that anyone will actually
 try the same sequence while using ISOs for install so the issue really is pretty minor
-the installer still shows 'fuseblk' for ntfs partitions if Gparted has been run; again,
 probably a minor issue. As far as I can tell, it does not affect functionality
-I did notice this time that my hsf+ partition shows up if gparted has not been run,
 however once gparted is run then it will not show up. Kind of relates to the 'fuseblk'
 issue mentioned above. Does not affect functionality of the installer.
-Development Crew changes took place when scroller was moved to main installer. Some
 observations are: there are extra spaces (top/bottom) around Vector/Moe/Uel (deservedly so),
 and stretchedthin was lost from the list. There may have been more changes that took
 place but these were items I could identify.
-My windows partition will still not boot from lilo entry, but I'm going to chalk it up
 as an issue related solely to my unique setup and hardware configuration. Unless anyone
 else has this same issue then I don't think it's worth investing much time into.

After Installation:
-post-install configuration: vxconf resolution does not include 1680x1050
-gambas2 is missing from kde menu
-gslapt, system upgrade, selects like 20 packages that are actually downgrades
 (i.e. lesser version numbers).

I think having the vxconf resolution options show up in order by first resolution size
would be a nice change. Perhaps just keep a top option of 'default (1024x768)' and then
the rest could go in order. It not a functional issue but an aesthetic one, and
certainly not a major one at that (just a convenience).

Cheers, newt
