Sounds 8 Install notes

[Dave Miller]

When detecting network settings, it again choked because my wireless has 
WEP enabled.  It asked me for an ESSID, but never asked me for the WEP 
key, so it had no way to connect.

After manually entering network settings, there was a LONG pause with 
nothing but a blue screen before it prompted me for a hostname.  I'm 
assuming it was probably trying to reverse-dns the IP I gave it to find 
out if it already had a name, but since it never asked for a WEP key, 
the DNS didn't work.   Bug 1113 filed.

I backed up, dropped to shell, did iwconfig eth1 key xxxxx and then had 
it try again, and as expected, no pause, and it came up with the 
hostname from my DNS pre-filled in the box.

Another long pause with nothing on the screen after writing the ext3 
partition before it starts checking the swap space on the swap partition.

After that, everything went really smoothly, up until I logged into gdm...

The /dev/pmu permissions error is still there, and the "Error activating 
XKB configuration" is still there (I'm assuming that hasn't changed 
since the last log I mailed to daniels, since that was only a day or two 
ago. so I won't mail another one unless asked).
