[Mageia-dev] Alpha-1 Comments

[JA Magallón]

Hi all...

First of all, nice work, people !! Hope all version 0 alphas were like
this...

I know I'm late for Alpha-2, but here are some comments about the install
of alpha-1, hope they are useful for beta-1 if they are not already fixed.
For the missing packages, probably they are things accessible through
repos once installed, but some I think they should be in the ISOs...

Here we go:

- lsb-release, it looks like the standard way of versioning...
- Is the format of /etc/release stable yet or will it change ? If it is not,
  you could add 'zeroes' where they should go. IE, if you ever plan to do
  a Mageia 1.1 relase, please call this 1.0 instead of '1'.
- could dmidecode be in the iso ?
- same for gpm, could it be installed and enabled by default on the final
  installed system ?
- missing gnome things, like gnome-themes or gnome-panel, but I suppose this
  is already fixed (btw, I seem to remember that Anne sent a URL for the
  Alpha2 package list, but I have not been able to recall it from my mailbox...)
- this is artwork matter, but, plzzz could you put the installer metal grid
  background as GDM/KDM background also ? I liiiiike it ;)
- a question: will mageia use systemd by default or not ?

TIA, and good Alpha 2 !!
I'm hitting reload in my browser to see the ISO appear ;).
