Hi,
This past weekend I migrated from my Slackware dist to RH5.1- a
complete reinstall. Since then, I've been pretty impressed w/ RH (rpm
is a godsend!). Anyways, some problems I've noticed:
rc.serial is missing- does anyone know what RPM this is supposed to be
in? I had to copy my old slackware serial port initialization in
order to talk to my modem on /dev/cua3.
/usr/share/emacs/20.2/etc/DOC-20.2.???? or some such file- the online
emacs documentation is missing. From time to time it's nice to search
for key-bindings w/o using info. As far as I can tell, I have all the
emacs RPMs installed (including the elisp one.) Sorry, I'd provide
more details, but I'm at work, and don't have my machine at hand.
LS_OPTIONS is not automagically used by ls. I don't recall if this
was the case w/ Slackware, but in order to set up colour ls, I had to
alias ls 'ls $LS_OPTIONS' everywhere. These are the little kinds of
things redhat's paying (myself not included) customers would like to
see working out of the box. The Config-HOWTO's bash scripts are also a
little flaky- they try to set up a colour prompt, but wind up bolding
everything that's written to the terminal.
A quick gripe about glint- I would much prefer to see the gui set up
in a tree structure- that way I would be able to get a better picture
of what's there and how it's organized. I'm a newbie to this list,
though, and someone else has probably already raised this point.
Finally, perhaps I wouldn't have to ask the first two questions if I
had the answer to the next one- I am no longer in posession of the
install media I used (I installed by nfs at work), and so I'm looking
for an online resource for searching for the RPM's that contain the
files I'm looking for. Sort of an online 'rpm -q'. Any hints?
Thanks, sorry for the lengthy msg,
R
