I had it working OK with RC2, 1st time I could get widescreen working without hand editing Xorgconfig. I hope they haven't broken it in the final release. Stuart |

It's because of the new feature of xorg 7.3, it autodetects your screen without the need of editing xorg.conf. In a laptop with an external screen (different screen sizes), you can unplug your external screen, restart X server, and the desktop auto-sizes to set to the laptop screen (I would like to find a way to do this without having to restart X, but then it needs xorg.conf edit, and it's not simple, and it won't be automatic, it would need ctrl-alt-<+> ) |

All I see available there for 2008 Spring is a 64-bit PowerPack DVD torrent. It looks like I'll have to wait just a while for the i586 PowerPack DVD torrent to show up. Sigh.... |

Sat there with flashing out of range error until it booted desktop server. That ran some test, configured xorg.conf and gave me login screen. No mirrors seem to have main, contrib yet. Booted back to rc2 to play until mirrors complete sync and I can complete my usual install. |

It will be released on April 9th, 2008. D/l both the x64 and i586 versions last night, quite amazed really as they were quite slow and at <5% at midnight. Installed i586 on this machine and all went very well until the snapshot thing kicked in after a few hours and filled up /. My fault somewhere along the line, I must have OKed a default to backup to the root dir. Seems a bit odd . Reinstalled again and everything seems fine. Cancelled the snapshot option for the time being. x64 installing on another newer, less standard machine now. Will post any problems that develop. This machine MSI mobo, AMD Sempron 3000, 2 x IDE drives, 2 x IDE DVDs, Nvidia 4200i graphics, Viewsonic LCD monitor. |

I've got my i586 ISO downloaded now. The x86_64 is still running. FWIW, I left my i586 ISO connected to the torrent so as to supply some uploaded bits. Cheers.... |

I use an external 160gig drive for backups, drive was found at first then stopped responding during a file copy to the drive. Then all hell broke out. B-) The USB is a spare IDE drive mounted in a USB case, formatted as ext3 and had some files already on there. Suddenly the drive was seen as Linux native ext2 and was empty! (gulp) Not sure how to continue, MCC Local disks sees SDf1 as ext2 and says it must be formatted or FSTAB will not be updated. Is this a feature. B-) Also, what is the new format in /etc/fstab ? Using UIDs for the drives. |
