I just installed 2.03. The dealer wanted to install it himself, but I
hadn't brought my machine, so I got copies of four disks.
IMPORTANT: Boot off of the INSTALLATION disk. Don't boot off of the
new WorkBench disk. I did this wrong, and the installation script
didn't work properly. There was this "iconpos" command that wasn't
found until I booted from the proper place. I also got some other
error messages.
On the first attempt, I was asked only for the (new) 2.0 disks. On
the second (and third) attempt, I had to supply the 1.3 Extras and
Workbench disks (I used my original distribution that came with the
3000). Why would the script want this on some times?
My customized files and preferences were not messed up from the
install.
I found the HDBackup program, which wasn't supplied in earlier
releases. I also found a program that shows you what symbols are
where on the keyboard. I tried this after installing the Dvorak
keymap, just for yucks. I suddenly realized that Dvorak was a great
idea, and I was about to use it here, for this message, then I
realized that I had to use vi.... Durn.
What else has been improved with 2.03? I have not noticed any major
changes. If there are bug fixes, what has been fixed? In what
situations or applications are the fixes obvious?
