Just in case you haven't found these and you're still looking for input
from folks on the new setup (especially us real novice types) :-) I gave
the new dj-setup a shot and love it - works beautifully. I did have two
glitches that you may have already fixed. I forgot to get the latest
version so the one I was using was from Monday, but at any rate - what I
ran into was as follows:
1) When I selected the URL - I simply selected the first one on the list
and then selected next at which point it gave me a Message box that said
"parse error" and gave me the chance to hit okay. I then went to the URL
list again and selected a different one and it continued and began the
download. At this point I hit cancel and ran it again and selected
'Other URL' so I could give it sourceware.cygnus.com so I would be sure
to get the most up to date versions and selected Next and it began the
download and continued on through until it got to groff.
2) when it got to groff setup gave me a byte count error and then
gracefully skipped groff and went on to the next file. I manually
downloaded groff without a problem via ftp before going on to the next
step so not sure why setup burped on it.
My system is a laptop running Win95B. Other than the problem with groff
and that one parse error everything else seemed to work fine. Not sure
what to look for since this is a Win95 machine as far as the logic you
added for passwd, groups, the setup shells, etc. If you want me to look
for anything in particular let me know.
