关于软件包 mandrakelinux-release-10.2-1mdk.i586 的更多信息
General Notes
=============

Deltarpm
--------
In order to provide smaller updates to the stable release, deltarpm from suse has been added. This enable to have incremental updates of rpm, reducing bandwidth needed. ( see http://archives.mandrakelinux.com/cooker/2005-01/msg01996.php ).
Removed package
为了给稳定版本更小的更新，来自Suse的deltarpm被添加了。这个可以增加rpm的更新，减少需要的带宽。参见http://archives.mandrakelinux.com/cooker/2005-01/msg01996.php
These packages were removed from the archives, as they are either deprecated ornot working ( this list is not complete ) :

    * boa-constructor : ( not working with newer wxpython )
    * ispell : replaced by aspell
    * opale : do not compile
    * acid : replaced by base
    * bayonne : unmaintained

Installation
------------
The installer was improved and now uses a different technology ( compressed loopback ) as found in MandrakeMove.

You can also use iso on the disk, as quickly explained on StageOne.

This section should mention the feature: "Internet sources configuration duringinstallation." However this option didn't appear when I just tried the 10.2rc1 installer. I was booting from The Supplemental Drivers CD.

Tools
=====

MCC
---
MCC has now an expert option to display advanced tools.
Mandriva控制中心现在有一个专家模式。

Hardware
========

initrd
------
Warning : If you have initrd's created before 10.2 they must be regenerated (using mkinitrd) to have large enough room, otherwise /sys might get full and prevent hal to work properly (not detecting the entire hardware installed on the system)
注意，如果你是从10.1升级安装到10.2/2005那么用如下命令重建initrd:

1. 
   
2. mkinitrd initrd-2.6.11-6mdk.img 2.6.11-6mdk -f

根据内核版本号自己做改变。

Standard kernel does not work on Centrino
-----------------------------------------
The standard kernel now has NX (no-execute) support enabled by default. NX requires PAE (Physical Address Extension) support, which should be available on all i686 processors, and is required for accessing memory above 4GB. Unfortunately PAE support is broken on the Dothan (Centrino) CPU (See the errata part of http://download.intel.com/design/mobile/SPECUPDT/30220907.pdf) and no fix nor workaround is planned by Intel. If you have a Centrino CPU, you should use a kernel which doesn't require PAE support, thus you have to use i686-4GB or i586-1GB kernels. This also means that Centrino users cannot have the advantages of NX (on any operating system). The installer has been updated, and should install a suitable kernel (ie i686-up-4GB) by default.

speedstep-centrino does not support Dothan processors
-----------------------------------------------------
The kernel module speedstep-centrino does not support Dothan processors. This is native cpufreq driver for Centrino based systems. Despite of this there is support via generic acpi-cpufreq module. Using acpi-cpufreq instead of speedstep-centrino caused higher power consumption.

At this time there is still no support for Dothan in main linux tree but there is unofficial patch which add support for these processors: http://localhost.ruhr.de/~stefan ... step-dothan-3.patch

Also this problem is discussed in bugzilla: bug_small.png Bug #10988 bug_small.png Bug #14950

ov511 based webcam
------------------
two different releases of ov511 driver are included in shipped kernel. If your webcam doesn't work correctly, it is probably using ov511-alt module instead of ov511. Add ov511-alt to /etc/hotplug/blacklist and ov511 will be loaded instead.

Desktop
=======

KDE
---
Kde 3.3.2 has been chosen over kde 3.4 for its maturity. However many bugfixes and some important new features ( kpdf, gdm theme support for kdm ) were backported by the Mandrakelinux KDE team into the packages included.
Mandrakelinux KDE组添加了一些3.4才有的功能到3.3.2里面。KDM现在支持gdm的主题。

Kde has been compiled with the flag -fvisibility, in order to improve loading times ( http://www.nedprod.com/programs/gccvisibility.html ).
KDE使用了-fvisibility参数编译，这样可以减少加载时间。

Changes to the Kmenu Button
---------------------------
去掉kmenu下面“菜单”字样的方法。
In order to highlight the Kmenu button in a more obvious fashion, a text label has been added that says "menu". Depending on the size of your kicker panel and your personal preferences, you may want to disable this. To do so, open .kde/share/config/kickerrc with your favorite text editor and add kmenutext=false in theKmenu section (you may have to add the section) so it looks like this:

[KMenu]
kmenutext=false

There is more information and discussion in this Cooker ML thread ( http://archives.mandrakelinux.com/cooker/2005-03/msg03163.php )

New Look Login Manager
全新观感的登录管理器
----------------------
There is a new feature in the default login manager (KDM) for this release which allows it to be themed like GDM. When themed, the user must know his/her username and type it in, which may be undesirable in certain circumstances.

If you want to revert to the previous behavior, you simply must configure KDM to not use a theme. To do this, open /etc/kde/kdm/kdmrc with your favorite text editor and change UseTheme=true to UseTheme=false.

There is more information and discussion in this Cooker ML thread ( http://archives.mandrakelinux.com/cooker/2005-03/msg04931.php )

GNOME
-----
For stability reasons the version of GNOME included is 2.8.3, which is the latest stable release before the jump to 2.10. See the release announcement for moreinformation on features and capabilities ( http://mail.gnome.org/archives/g ... ruary/msg00071.html )

Sound
-----
ALSA support was greatly enhanced in XMMS and Beep Media Player.

Sound multiplexing with ALSA
----------------------------
Now, applications that use the ALSA api for playing sound will automatically use the dmix plugin by default on sound cards that do not support hardware mixing.Thus, such applications will always be able to play sound simultaneously.

Note that if an application uses the OSS emulation for playing sound with an ALSA driver, it'll get exclusive access to the sound card, thus excluding all other apps.

What's more, the dnsoop plugin is also set up, thus allowing several applications to record simultaneously from the same sound card

Last but not least, the softvol plugin is used for codecs without volume controls (eg: Azalia/intel HD audio) so that one can alter sound volume on cards that do not support it

TiMidity MIDI synthesizer
-------------------------
Now TiMidity, a MIDI playback engine, can be executed as a ALSA sequencer client. This means it can act as a software synthesizer, which is very useful when machine has no decent soundcard (such as most laptop). Install timidity-init if this feature is desired.

The old patch set included in versions prior to 10.2 was found to be plague
