FC4test2 remarks

[BAYEV V.V.]

               Remarks on FC4test2 (installation on disk with Win98/XP with formatting) :

1.	During installation √ when I select language of menu √ Russian and language of keyboard √ Russian too, on the screen SELECTION OF LOADER there is no a small window (Configure advanced boot loader option) for to install Grub not in the main boot sector √ this is possible only if I select English setup menu (with Russian keyboard support) √ but in this case instead of first boot sector Grub installed in main boot sector and in fisrt boot sector simultaneuosly (after start in DOS and  command ⌠fdisk /mbr■ fisrt boot sector was cleared and I use boot.ini file as before).
2.	After finishing of installation with Russian keybord and rebooting, when the promt for to input  new user appeared √ impossible to add new user, becouse the keyboard in this moment is Russian and I can not change the language by any combination of buttons. I made it only inside FC4 from menu.
3.	After installation there is only English in the list of supported languages, but I istalled FC4 with Russian language support.
4.	When I attemped to install kernel-module-ntfs for FC4 for NTFS support,  the system said me √ no NTFS, when I tried to uninstall (rpm √e ...) system said: this package not installed■, and during booting process the stirng about NTFS as not detected file system appeared.
5.	Volume of sound card (Creative Live 5.1) is significantly less than in FC3, the amount of channels with ajusting of level is less than before √ only 2 (as simple stereo), but in FC3 there are many parameters of sound which I could change for all 6 channels. In XINE and RealPlaayer9 their own volume regulations are not active at all.
6.	TV-tuner DV3000 not active as before in FC3, but system detected it as SAA7134. 
7.	Printer HP 3650 not active, but detected as HP36xx (in FC3 it was OK).

8.	GOOD THINGS: 
When I installed XINE and RealPlayer9 √ they appeared as menu  items in Gnome;
Many new programs √ dictionary, GhostView, Office etc.

      9.   WISHES:
            Include program ⌠Answering machine/Fax■
            Include program ⌠DialUp Server■ or PPP-Server ( for 1-2 modems)
            Include package LICQ   (now I use LICQ for RH9 √ more native for FC3 & FC4)
            Include package for NTFS-detection
            Include support for printers Canon LBP-1120 and HP 3650
