Hello

Installed the test2 last night on my armada e500 laptop, no worries. Gnome is just very slow because it only has 128 mb ram. But so far so good :)

So, does anyone know where I can get some yum or apt repositories for test2 where I can find fluxbox or xfce4? Yum mirror for test2 because the default is extremely slow here from Finland.

Cheers

Well, I saw that someone asked basically the same for test 1, so I went to the site http://fedora.laiskiainen.org/fc2-t....fdr.7.i386.rpm and grabbed a copy of apt.

I installed it. It told me that I have no mirrors selected so choose some. After that I was thinking that I should make sure that it checks 1.91 and not 1.90 but I thought what the heck so I did
apt-get update
but no worries, it did realize that it is 1.91.

Busy getting a ton of packages now, will see sooner or later if it was a good idea.

anyway....:)

To continue...... :( apt-upgrade complained about missing gpg-keys.

Decided that I am not going to hunt for them now so I
cd /var/cache/apt/archives/

Moved the kernel packages mv kernel* /root

rpm -Uvh *rpm

Seems ok now apart from audit messages I guess for selinux when it tried to install glibc and some others.

mmm.....

selinux.... now that is another hurdle

signature business is no good though

Solution to apt-get complaining about gpg-keys

edit the file /etc/apt/apt-conf and uncomment the part that says
// GPG-Check "false";
to
GPG-Check "false";
save the file and apt-get again

Since this is a test, all packages are not signed
