So far, I've been very pleased with FC2T2. I downloaded the DVD ISO via
the torrent, though it was slow, I got the ISO, burnt a DVD, booted up and
upgraded FC1 with NO PROBLEM at all.
I was even able to download the prism drivers for my Netgear WG511 802.11G
PCMCIA card and in about 5 minutes, I was reconnected to my wireless LAN.
Everything worked like a charm with two exceptions:
1) No USB devices were being recognized. I had to manually edit and load
the USB driver in /etc/modprobe.conf.dist. After that, no problems.
2) I'm running FC2T2 on a Thinkpad T40 and I can't get sound to work for
the life of me. I try to manually load the i810 sound driver ( I think
it's snd-intel8x0 under FC2T2 ) but it can't be found. Can anyone confirm
whether I'll have to rebuild the kernel to get the driver?
Overall, very impressed, apps like OpenOffice and Quicken ( under CX
Office ) seem to be less sluggish.
If anyone has any ideas about sound, please let me know.
Thanks
PJ
