About hardware information. I proposed app-admin/hwreport for that, |
36 |
which gathers information from lspci and friends (I attach one to this |
37 |
mail) and tars it up. Some more questions (I never got the call on |
38 |
-core, btw...): |
39 |
|
40 |
* Did you try a lot of the software on the live CD/DVD? Did they work |
41 |
fine? |
42 |
|
43 |
* Are all links on the desktop working (terminal, Handbook etc.)? |
44 |
|
45 |
* Was splash image displayed correctly? |
