Hi,
My overall experience with FC4 T2 on Dell Latitude D800 is below
I installed FC T2 but during the "Post installation configuration" anaconda froze. I couldnit move the mouse but could switch to text consoles.
Reinstalling with upgrade optoin made the progress bar go a little bit further almost to the end but got stuck again.
Then I booted into rescue mode and fixed the most of the setting by hand.
So far it was bad. Then I updated using yum. First time user of it but all went ok. One thing I noticed it just downloads the rpms leaving the installation to me. Is that the expected behaviour?
I upgraded the KDE and X packages. Great! I like it. Especially on my laptop with wide screen high resolution looks great. Before I had a toshiba S1 with FC3 and was having font aliasing problems. I dunno if the laptop or resolution or FC4 makes it better now. Someone who has more experience might wanna comment on this...
I have installed the software suspend and wireless ipw2100 modules and nvidia driver. All fine except ss and nvidia cannot get along very well. So to be able to suspend, I need to di init 4.
Oıne last problem left that is arts hogging up the cpu and then giving up saying cpu overload (the second part is expected as I read somewhere). I still do not have sound and would love to get to the bottom of the problem.
My laptop has AC7 controller. Anyone else having the same problem with the sound?
I also grabbed a vanilla kernel and trimmed it down to only the devices I got. No luck there as well...
I notice a lot of focus on java and java development. That is something I was looking forward to have. One day we might even have a desktop environment written purely in java right?
Anyways,
once again, thanks for the good work fellows.
