Ok, credit where it is due! I have installed 2.2 on three systems. I
will list them and their problems that remain.
1)
386/20 with 8 megs RAM
AMI BIOS C&T Set MB
150 meg SCSI/Future Domain 865 Controller with floppy support.
This was an upgrade type install. I did it this way because I
didn't have much time to do the upgrade and it seemed to be
the safest approach. It worked well for the most part.
Probelms:
sendmail will not die if TCP is not properly
installed. Even if I switch to init level 2 and get
rid of the hosts file *and* I had sendmail configured
to *only* use uucp for mail the whole time. If I set
up a complete TCP network sendmail functions fine.
This system is *definitly* slower than it was before
the upgrade. Even after the switch to init level 2,
it is slower. I am fielding complaints of slowness
from users all day. I am seriously thinking of
switching this one back to 2.0.2. The main reason for
the upgrade on this machine was for TCP, when that is
running the machine craaawlss.
NOTE: Other than the above mentioned problems the
system works fine. Not having a support contract
however (and not going to buy one!) nor hearing any
answers here, I will probably *have* to switch back to
2.0.2.
386/20 8 megs RAM
AMI C&T MB
Adaptec 2372B Controller with 2 Seagate 4144R's
This was a destructive re-install.
This system runs *fast* and perfectly, with the exception of
the sendmail bug mentioned above. This system has the news on
it. I would *like* to run SLIP here if I could figure out how
to do it.
386/33 12 megs RAM
Micronics MB, Pheonix BIOS
WD1007wa2-wah controller, and 2 micropolis ESDI drives (don't
remember the exact model) 330 megs each.
This one was a destructive reinstall. This system runs
flawlessly.
This is my favorite machine. Seems faster than before. I
have TCP running, PCI and sendmail works right.
There is one minor problem they all now experience with paging
which I will post seperatly.
