	Hello,
testing installer-20030813.  Overall: better than I thought but
with at least two block bugs (parallel to ALJ2.2 ones).


Hardware
--------
P4-1.7 / P4X266 / 256M / 40G / GF2MX400 / TFT 15" / RTL8139

from the very beginning, severity in *'s and comments

=> install "recommended" uk_UA.CP1251, 1024x768 from CD-RW

boot & ide ok

* [cosmetic?]
screen resolution during install was 800x600 (by eye and looking
at /tmp/Xconf) -- too bad on TFT and strange after "1024x768" :)


* [don't forget in Compact itself]
network cfg: dhcpcd rpm missing => no DHCP (no problem)

**** [major]
seems like keyboard cfg was not updated for XF86 4.3 at all:

I can select "rua" and get

    Option "XkbLayout" "us,rua"

instead of (exactly! don't rearrange)

    Option "XkbLayout" "us,ua,ru"

extra "en+ru+ua" layouts (rua, ruan, ru_group3) must be
eliminated in favour of "us,ua,ru" setup.


** [inconvenience]
no eject before reboot
-- could lead to loop-boot even if not loop-install


=> installed ok, bootloader ok, WinXP boots (btw, s/NT/WinNT/ would
be somewhat less terse in boot menu?)

"autologin" for "user" enabled


* [cosmetic]
too light background on fb console during boot? (DONE's almost
invisible, as well as cyan "ALT Linux")
	
additionally breaks in unpleasant manner after "setting up
bootsplash"

* [cosmetic]
"reboot" in xterm leads to spurious syslog (pam) message
right over the login prompt -- not very pretty too

Overall: ok.


=> reboot


boot as "safe mode" (btw, should we add 'noapic acpi=off' to its
arguments so as to have a "one-button" solution to one
particularly common class of problems?)

***** [block]
keyboard was locked up as X started 'cause dm was S45dm.
mustdie.

exiting icewm (=>restart X) helped


***** [block]
sound chip not configured at all:
---
00:11.5 Multimedia audio controller: VIA Technologies, Inc.
VT8233 AC97 Audio Controller (rev 40)
00:11.5 Class 0401: 1106:3059 (rev 40)
---

supported by via82cxxx_audio and snd-via82xx from kernel pkgs in
20030813 (2.4.21rel-alt12/0.9.6-alt6), no difference heard on PCM
test (ogg123) => snd-via82xx recommended


**** [crash]
attempt to install and run draknet to reconfigure eth0 for DHCP:

* [cosmetical]
indexhtml has links to openoffice.ru but mozilla._org_ :)


---GOOD NEWS---
nvidia seems working, pci dma seems ok
