Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Date: Tue, 14 Oct 1997 15:59:58 -0400 From: Robert Withrow Sender: owner-freebsd-stable@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I have done some serious testing of the Oct 7th release of 225beta with generally very good results. It works well under heavy testing in our normal environment here. I found the following problems/annoyances: 1) Sysinstall: Accessing distribution submenus and then returning to parent menu; you are returned to the *top* of the parent menu rather than the place where you accessed the child menu. This is very annoying to those of us who do *lots* of installations... 2) Sysinstall: NFS client "yes" setting in sysinstall doesn't "take" in rc.conf. 3) Sysinstall/XF86Setup: Somehow the X link to the SVGA server didn't get made. I'm not shure when this failed to happen since someone was talking to me when I was testing this. XF86Setup dumped a tcl traceback complaining about this. 4) Ports: a2ps only shows up in its A4 version. (It doesn't even show up in the ftp.freebsd.org ports-2.2.5 INDEX). This problem (the A4) one has been around for quite some time and it would be nice if it got fixed before 2.2.5 gets released... 5) Sysinstall: /usr/tmp gets created with bad ownership and permissions. It should get created with the same permissions as /tmp. 6) It seems like there should be a symlink "gawk" for "awk" since they are one in the same. There is room for difference of opinion here, of course;-) What is the chance of getting these things fixed before the release? -- Robert Withrow -- (+1 508 916 8256) BWithrow@BayNetworks.com
