I'm not seeing any new behavior. I might be missing something, but I haven't
noticed anything yet. I use Mulberry for mail, and it's working fne. (It
requires the linux emulator.)
I just moved to a new box and installed 7.0 RC3 on it. Updated and recompiled
the kernel and world. I was comparing my old setup to the new when I realized
I wasn't mounting linprocfs. If I don't need it, there's no point in mounting
it.
The only major problem I'm having is usb just doesn't work right at all. The
system doesn't sense when I insert a new device, and I had to enable moused to
get the mouse working. (But the usb keyboard works fine.?!)
When I insert a usb thumb drive into a slot, I don't see the usual console
messages, and there's no /dev/da?, so I'm not sure what to do next.
Maybe you can help with that?
