Here is my comments on CD 5.

Im running it on an AMD Athlon.

1. As sanjeevdas metions no HorizSync and VertRefresh in xorg.conf
resulting in a 640x480 screen.
It has been like this for the last 3 array cd's

2. Gdm is still the old 2.6.0.6 from october last year, there is a new
2.6.0.7 from february this year, I guess it will be part of Gnome 10 and
be in Hoary.

3. Synaptic, when adding archives, the dialog pre selects Ubuntu 4.10
instead of 5.04.

4. It would be really nice to have some tool installed to handle
services, maybe sysv-rc-conf could be installed by default.

5. The Gnome watch do not show weeknumbers any more, guess thats a anti
feature of Gnome 2.10 :(

6. Should'nt Gnome 2.10 ship with a package of
backgrounds? I could only find 3 Ubuntu backgrounds.

7. Gnome-terminal, start profile not remembered.
1. Add a new profile for the first time.
2. Set the profile as the start profile.
3. Close profile settings
4. Open profile settings, the start profile is now back to the default
profile.
5. Set new profile as the start profile.
6. Close profile
7. Open profile, the new profile is now remembered.
Ill fill a gnome bug-report about this.

8. Mousepointer Clock hanging.
When opening System->Administration dialogs like: users and groups, Date
and time, network and log in, the watch keep staying running even though
the dialogs has fully loaded.

9. Network settings, SSID not remembered.
1. Open network settings
2. Set SSID for wireless nic
3. Close network settings
4. Open network settings, SSID back to default "ANY"

Happy hacking!
