MDK rc1 was installed on an i815 chipset based system as the only OS on the system. Distribution release candidate was also installed on a hard drive with XP Home edition on the drive, reparitioned the XP, autoallocated the rest for MDK. Here are a few notes.
Installation is much cleaner than the betas. Good job.
Konqueror 3.1 Download Manager
A Phoenix nightly build was downloaded through Konqueror 3.1. Once the tar.gz was downloaded, there is an option to open the file. Clicking on this option launches File Roller. Click on extract, click on browse, choose the directory, click on OK and you will be in a loop.
Instead, refresh the directory listing within Konqueror, right click on the file to bring up the menu options. Choose Ark. Extract :D
Scroll Mouse
This option is never enabled by default by Mandrake Linux. Modify the mouse first by using the Mandrake Control Center. Choose Generic Scroll Mouse. Launch Konsole, su root. Change to the /etc/X11 directory. Launch vi and edit the file XF86Config. Find the "pointer" option and add the line:
Press Insert
Option "Buttons" "3"
Press Escape key
:w
:q
exit Konsole
Restart X
Removable Media
Click on the desktop icon for Removable Icon.
The Konqueror launched does not allow the icons to be clicked on
Screensaver
Tux Screensaver only takes up the upper left hand corner of a 1600x1200 desktop. The rest of the screen goes black.
