Five of five installs I forgot to eject the boot CD after install
Reboot back into installer, eject CD, reboot again.
One machine, a P4-HT, doesn't accept public key login for root, the
other machines don't have this issue? I may reinstall to see if it
is consistent -- cannot see any difference in setup there. User
login works as expected and root login works on another 32bit install.
It's a little mystery...
As noted in another post, Intel 865G graphics and X seem to work
now -- there were reports of a problem with slack-current a little
while back. Took a bit of RTF help text while in 'make menuconfig'
to get all the relevant options in, and a couple (well three) custom
kernel compiles.
Joining the chorus here, I'm disappointed with KDE, maybe a later
version?
Another irritant was trying out the available terminals, you'd think
they'd harmonise text size? Xterm and rxvt are tiny, I suspect due
to a default 75dpi bitmap font. A) screeens have been ~100dpi or
better for a decade, why default 75dpi?; and b) why not go freetype
as default these days?
The new NFS install network discovery worked each time
No mucking about fiddling blacklist files or udev (yet). A quick
chmod massage of /etc/rc.d files and copy in a small set of setup
files from NFS [1], and the custom kernel for each new install.
[1] .vimrc, .bash*, .ssh/authorized_keys, my kernel build scripts
and a *~ cleaner script. Small massage of /usr/local/bin to make
it :wheel friendly (g+wx).
But still I'm avoiding updating the slack-11 Internet facing box...
Grant.
