In case anybody cares, here are a few comment from one person's update to Fedora Core 3. --- Really, really bad --- - On my box I need to enter "linux ide=nodma" at the very first prompt or the install soon hangs. This is terrible. What if I didn't know this. Its enough to make a newbie give up. Isn't there a way for the IDE drivers to attempt to use DMA and it doesn't work fall back to nodma? - Perhaps because of the above during the install, I got the popup dialog saying a package could not be installed because the media might be corrupt. I got this message lots ... maybe 25 times during the whole install. There's a button to retry however, and this is my point, there is no way to SKIP the package. Once I got this dialog for the words package. I would be happy to skip this package if it meant getting to the end of the install! Luckily, for me each time I asked it to retry it worked. I seem to recall a skip option in earlier Redhat releases. --- Could be better --- - The boot is very ugly. In the rhgb there's a "Show Details" button but it seems to click itself at one point. Later it goes back to "no details" without user intervention. There are many screen mode changes as it switches to Kudzu. It seems to have curses problem drawing up. I tried disabling Kudzu and the details/no details switch still occurs. - Its nice that rpm makes .rpmsave backups of config files but it should not make the .rpmsave files when there is no change. --- Nit picks --- - Why not merge the zip and unzip packages just like both gzip and gunzip are in the same package - No description for libgpg-error as its installed (I said these were nitpicks) - The description for system-config-network-tui begins "NEtwork". E shouldn't be capitalized. - The description of the httpd package doesn't mention Apache - There are package names with underscore. But most have dashes. Inconsistent. - Include yam (http://dag.wieers.com/home-made/yam) in next release - Isn't it time to rename yp to nis? (eg there's still /etc/yp.conf) --- Nice --- - Feels faster - Firefox - /etc/yum.repo.d is good
