Overall it went smoothly, though it did take a very long time. For some reason automounting is not working. I get a warning at boot from dbus -- "$dbus_enable is not set properly" -- but otherwise there is nothing consequential there. Hal finds both cd0 and acd0, as before. Inserting a CD gives the error message that the drive could not be mounted, and then subsequent attempts give nothing. Any suggestions on how to fix this would be appreciated. Also, no desktop icons appear for two additional hard drives on the system that are not part of the traditional file system. One is found from a console window, so it are mounted, but the appearance is different, and the other (an NTFS disk) is not found. Some notes on minor things. The initial portupgrade of the gstreamer plugins failed because one library (liboil?) was already installed and would not be upgraded. Instead I used a "-fR" flag and it proceeded properly. I also had many circular references when I was finished that I had to delete. Starting polkitd from rc.conf seems not to work properly, though it does using GDM. Evolution does indeed start faster -- many thanks!!! -- but its screen refreshing is terribly slow. 80% of my CPUs (an old dual Athlon) is consumed if I move a terminal window over the Evolution window (grab the title bar and move it in a circle), which is new. Screen updates in Evolution similarly are very slow. I was also bitten by the xorg mouse issue (work-around applied) and it is serious enough that I think it merits a mention on the upgrade page. Overall this one went pretty smoothly for a .0 release, but for me at least there are a few minor niggles remaining. Frank
