MDK 9.1 beta

[TRN]

OK. I've download the single iso image, burned the CD, and installed it once. A few images are in the gallery. And silly me forgot to put something in this forum so that requests may be made.

Please let me know if you want something checked or you have a question about it. Mirrors should be getting things in order -- so be patient. Those of you who wonder how I got it so quickly might want to remember my little secret - ProZilla

Not a bad little install routine. I think I've seen it before (jk). Actually the developers blanked out the images during the install and it's fairly simple text. The monitor wasn't quite seen properly during the install and so things were a bit squished on the horizontal refresh. But it was a perfect install for the X11. No biggie. It might scare some people.

This jewel has XFree86 4.2.99 with three managers KDE 3.1, GNOME 2, IceWM. Yeah, I agree. I want my fluxbox ! Anywho. A nice surprise is the Mozilla 1.3a and Galeon 1.3.1. I also love the "Merry Christmas" splash screen when mcc is launched. You'll see in the image gallery that mcc is rather void of descriptions. Ah, I love betas.

Is it me and am I the only one who wants to stick a music CD into a CD, have it recognized and the appropriate player start up so that I can listen to music?

Yeah, I know other distros do it but I was leading up to the fact that this beta doesn't. Drats. Maybe I'll tinker with it and see what's happening. Maybe not.

Nope, but stuff like that makes you :mad:
You'd think that the developers would understand, .. simple.

Someone asked that I post a screenshot of Konqueror 3.1 with tabs. I wasn't able to open Tux Reports with this version because the header looks like .. well .. let's just say that Konqueror doesn't like the html. Anyway, I opened slashdot.org, news.com, and a few others. Took the screenshot and uploaded it.

I then decided to go through the sites that are bookmarked by Mandrake. Oh good grief. If you are going to bookmark a site then you should make sure that it is supported. Right? Well, http://www.oceanphotos.com/wallpaper.htm barfed. The error says, "Sorry, your browser doesn't support Java(tm)"

No, I don't want to fuss with it. I'll just go to another site - thank you very much.
