Thanks for array CD 6!

I've installed it and it feels a little smoother than CD 5 which is
nice. I have some comments about it though. BTW im a Dane so I installed
with support for Danish.

1. I now get a resolution of 1280x1024 rather than 640x480 which I got
with CD 5. This is nice but I think its a bit to high resolution
1024x768 would be the best for me. Hope there will be a solution for
that one, though it seems hard to please everybody.
Also I want to mention that my screen do support DCC.

2. During install I was asked a question to many for my taste, I choosed
to install the Danish language packs and was asked, during the second
round of installing, this question:

The following package are not authenticated:
language-pack-da-base
language-pack-da
Do you want to continue?

I choosed yes. Hope I cant be asked of this anymore.

3. The GNOME backgrounds which is supposed to be part of Gnome 2.10 is
missing :( It would be nice to have them included by default, maybe they
are available from synaptic, did not check that out sorry.

4. GDM is still version 2.6.0.6 which is very old, from 20041026, now
and lack a lot of important translation updates for several languages. I
guess GDM is part of GNOME and I hope it will be updated to the latest
version 2.6.0.7 which was released 20050202.

5. It would be really nice if GDM could log the newly created user in by
default ie. skipping the GDM login screen.

6. When loading the Add/Remove applications program the cursor turns
into a clock and never turns back to the normal cursor :(

7. When adding repositories with Synaptic, warty is still present and
selected by default. I guess warty should not be available from hoary,
but I might be wrong.

8. The mouse cursor turns into a clock when loading the System
administration programs, like managing users and groups. The cursor is
very slow to change back to normal state after the windows of the
administration programs has loaded.

9. In the Danish OO.o 1.1.3 
   Funktioner -> OrdoptÃlling

   should be

   Funktioner -> Ordoptælling

   This bug is not present in 1.1.2 on Ubuntu and 1.1.3 on Fedora Core.

10. OO.o is not setup for Danish

11. OO.o the Danish dictionary is not installed.

12. Xscreensaver is a very old version 4.16 there is a new 4.20
available with a lot of translation updates. I know that it will
probably not get into Hoary, but I sure hope it will get into the next
release.

13. During logout I get this message:
Gnome Display Manager not running.

It would be nice if that was not printed, I think it is just confusing.

14. The weather applet only allows me to choose locations in North
America and the Middle East. Im not sure if this is a Ubuntu packaging
problem or a bug in Gnome Applets.

15. 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!
