problems after HDD install
i installed 3.4 to my laptop hard drive, but it ignores the fstab and won't mount /dev/hda4 where i tell it to at /home. so KDE crashes when it tries to log in, because it says it can't write anything. it also gives some errors about DCOP. if i ctrl-alt-F1 and mount /dev/hda4 at /home, it still crashes and apparently won't read from the user directory in /home. does anyone know what's wrong?
also, my touchpad does not work under 2.6.x, while it does under 2.4. so that is not too cool. and during install, there is no option to select what partitions or what kind of filesystems to use. i had to manually edit /.knofig to change to reiserfs. i also told it to use /dev/hda4 at /home in /.knofig, but apparently that didn't work, either. what happens if you don't want to install everything at /, but have separate partitions for /var, /usr, etc.? do you just have to add those to /.knofig and hope it works?
so far i am not too impressed with 3.4, it seems like a step forward from 3.3 but then 2 steps backward again. should it really be this difficult just to get a gui to load?
