A bit more about that previous post. I got the error with the release
disc, but not with the beta disc. The beta installation ran to
completion. However, it would not boot.
While troubleshooting I noticed that my CD-ROM was on the primary
controller and the one IDE drive was on the secondary, a

I have now installed 8.10 beta for testing, but have not figured out how
to make sawfish automatically start. All the usual configuration tricks

Public bug reported:
The usual trick of killing the latest default wm, starting sawfish, and
saving the session no longer works.
The /usr/bin/gnome-wm script suggests several ways of changing it, but

Yes, big problem for me on two systems now at 8.10. (Had the problems
before the upgrade too.)
I see:
1) Apparently random loss of one or more windows or GNOME panels, with
ps x showing the application still running.
2) When I use 'kill' to k

I think so. /etc/timezone had LA in it, and the reconfiguration set it

Thanks!

That is how I have traditionally had my systems set up, but for some
reason the upgrade broke it as described above anyway, on several
