leoniedelt at 02:17pm on 25/04/2007 under mandriva linuxWhat a lot of hard work. I should have followed my instincts and done a full install from scratch, but no, i chose to upgrade.
2 hours later, everything was a mess. It was booting, but not loading the new 2007.1 kernel, and it was bombing out on several things in the course of bootup, weird error messages, all sorts.
I had to format hda1 and install from scratch, which took only 30 minutes the second time! It took less than 5 minutes to get my wifi working, which is a bleedin miracle, and voila.
Lots of things are now specific to this release, so i can urpmi most everything i've ever used. Last things i have to get working are some browser plugins, re-do my bookmarks as I lost them all, finish tinkering round with thunderbird getting the junk mail controls working, and getting Azureus. And i'm done! :D
Worth it, yes. So many new customisations and the whole thing runs as smooth as a baby's arse. Wow and a half. :D
Bite me, Bill Gates.
