Hello All,
The PCQ Linux 2006 writeup in the mag was quite impressive so I tried it
out. First of all, the CD media is terrible, it has many file errors.
First time, in CD1 itself it had some file errors. On inserting CD2, it
simply went into CLI and said the system was ready to reboot. Next time
it was another 'dhakka maro' session of opening and closing the cd (Sony
DVD) tray
but it finally installed.
CD copies that came with my subscription are fine. You can contact
their customer support for a fresh copy. They are pretty good about
such things.
I installed the extra-lite version only and did not encounter any probs
during installation. Spot tested the "xtra-lite" apps and they seemed
to be working fine.
Nevertheless, I agree about hardware detection. It did not recognize
the well supported SB Live! 5.1 card in my system nor did it recognize
the embedded AC'97 compatible sound - SuSE 10.0/FC4 does recognize them.
I plan to install to other configs over the next few days and see how
they stack up.
