Hello,

first, let me congratulate all involved in 4.2, which seems to be a great 
release. furthermore, KDE2 is just a great X environment (with seemingly 
working apps)

then, some rants before the release gets cut :
- the linux emulation can't read files names longer than 8+3 in a FAT 
partition (msdos slice). I shouldn't care, but the latest Netscrap is only 
available as a Linux executable, so I can't read a HTML file in the "my 
documents" directory of the DOS file (the latest Konqueror with the GIF 
library compiled-in could be a good replacement for Netscrap, anyway)
- the latest XFree86-4 port does not install a setuid Wrapper or Server, so 
startx does not what it is supposed to do
- the sound for my <Yamaha DS-1E (YMF744)> does not work as it should (maybe 
a problem in setting the replay frequency
- I can't log out of KDE2 : the logout choice in the "K" menu only gives an 
error message 
kicker : panelService : :SlotService(-422)
kicker : can't find service with slotId -422

	Cheers

	TfH
