Hi! I've installed 2.2-ALPHA on a P75/32M/1GB SCSI/NE200 compat. machine and I have found a few little things that are incorrect. I'm a bit stressed right now and I'm not up to finding out how to send_pr and what has been reported allready. Sorry about that, anyone feel free to send PRs with this as material, though. :) * In FTP site selection there is a note above the actual choises, which says to chose a site, or "other". "other" is called URL in the actual list. Maybe check what the help on this says, too. I haven't. Should be URL everywhere. * Astro, chinese, and gdb-4.16 packages/package groups have no descriptions. Also, it seems a lot of packages were not available, emacs amoung them. * The sizes for stuff when you choose distribution is nto really correct. At least "All" in XFree86 shouldn't be [20M] when the source on the line above it [100M] :-) * Lots of kernel options seems to be very vaguely or not at all described in the LINT file. It's hard to know what devices do, and specially the strange options, like "APM_IDLE_CPU". Does the CPU normally halt or not? Is halting a good thing? etc * This is strange: Mouse move has started to work as a screensaver wakeup. That's nice, i think. However, it works only UNLESS you have the mouse on in the vty. I would think it should be the other way around, no? Also... I tried to build a custom kernel by copying the LINT file and changing it to my liking. I managed to get "panic: Can't mount root" and a jump into the debugger, when I booted it, though. I'm tryign to figure out why... Anyone got a clue what it might be? /Mikael
