longgone Posted August 17, 2004 Author Share Posted August 17, 2004 Now posting ... from a successful .... re-boot into Drake 10.1 BETA ..... only a few minor disturbances so far...... the main one is that KPPP does not appear on the menu anywhere .... must make the connect from the consol ..... and have configured the connection twice now..... otherwise it is apparently good to go.... for the moment.

teacher Posted August 18, 2004 Share Posted August 18, 2004 Have you tried going to the configure your connection in the Control Center? I am wondering if you have it set up for KPPP there if it will add it to the menu? I would run a menu update after setting up the network connection there.Julia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
longgone Posted August 18, 2004 Author Share Posted August 18, 2004 I configured the modem connection during the install, and then I have done it twice through the MCC. The info I entered is correct and it does stay put but it just is not appearing anywhere in the menu. I even have gone so far as to go through the "manage connections" icon but it is either a bug there or some other problem. It opens a small window saying it is checking for packages, then opens big window and wants installation media CD1 and I put the requested CD in, close the tray, click okay, and it stays closed for a slow count to 4 and then kicks the tray open and refuses to accept the install medium. So... I am using the consol/terminal to access the web. It works, but I will bet that is not what is supposed to be happening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruno Posted August 18, 2004 Share Posted August 18, 2004 Well, Dale remember it is only a BETA . . .and it would not be fun if there were no bugs in it :PB) BrunoPS: A question for this evening is: can you boot into Drake 10 Official ? . . Does the old boot-CD from the previous install still work ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
longgone Posted August 18, 2004 Author Share Posted August 18, 2004 :'( Bruno,,,,Could be it's only an Alpha in Beta Clothing too..... that portion of the last post about the CD getting ejected without anything being read from it applies to more than just KPPP. So far the impression I am getting is you better install everything you want the first time around, because there is not a second chance unless it is a complete new re-install. When I did the first install I just did the default selections and then later on I went back and tried to install Gnome. I got the same results, put the CD in wait 4 seconds, CD gets kicked back out and nothing is done. Also, do all those update sources that are posted for 10.0 work for 10.1 (just change the 0 to 1) or are there different ones. This is for using the MCC software updates section... ?????

Bruno Posted August 18, 2004 Share Posted August 18, 2004 Hi DaleThere are no updates for Cooker . . . . it is just a snapshot, not meant for daily use . . but just to get an idea what the future version will bring . . . It is just for fun, don't make too much of it :DNow . . . I want to focus on Drake 10 official . . when you are ready . . Bruno Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
