I tried successfully to install a clean development release and am
planning to try an upgrade ftp of a semi-rawhide version to see how it
goes. I'm going to update as far as possible with up2date first.
I just added a dvd-rw and am curious to how it will do after updated ftp
install.
I have to burn the new boot iso first to test it.
Jump right in. I have to give a gdm trace for xmms, which is broken on a
"clean" (as far as only development packages can be). There might be
some programs that "pop out" of functionality for different hardware.
