oh,my fault :

dear sir's

I want to give a little feedback due to my bad experience with the 
Bugzilla-system, I won't do it in BUGzilla,so I do it here.

I tested the 32bit version(i386) of alpha3 as KDE-cd and DVD both from the 
torrent.
Testsystem is a Laptop: FSC Amilo Pro 2035 - 1,5 Ghz Celeron - 1,2GB Memory - 
Graphicchip: Via S3

-Boot is ok for the installation, starts with graphical screen(after grub)
The configuration of timezone is nice by the map.
installation so far as I can test is without any poblems, as it was in 10.3.
The selected shemes(files)were copied and the system reboot propably.

-after Booting there is no X-Server for the nice gui to fill in Hostname and 
s.o..
So it starts with the standard(old)yast-dialog.
I hope this was not done so far and is underconstruction, otherwise you have a 
problem.

-Generally: There is no Internet connection so far, but it should work, because 
10.2 and 10.3 had not any problems with my dhcp-server. Did you changed 
anything, or is it disabled, because you won't producetraffic in the alpha 
stadium?

-There are problems with KInternet and KNetworkManager during the Installation 
in the paket-choosing-dialog(How-is-that-called?) of theKDE-cd. 
While ther are on the KDE-cd are only packages from kde and no gnome, the 
installer wants to install:NetworkManager-Gnome - which is not possible!
This problem is only on the KDE-cd and not on the DVD.

-Generally: Networkconfiguration is only possible, by manual configuration!
I am missig the subnetmask - there is nowhere a dialog during installation.
Even when the system is installed it is difficult to set the netmask without 
manually configuration.
I repeat the above, when I say up-to 10.3 my dhcp-server works fine.

-the configuration of the bootmanager is not possible by yast2: it crashes with 
a failure dialog of X, not a Crash-Dialog of the KDE-system

-after rebooting an installed system: the X-Server is present and KDM works, 
butwithout any background picture. I thought ok, do it....So, I loged in 
KDE4.02 which is the standard(nice) and wanted to change the login-dialog. I 
tried by K-Menu->Properties->etc and came to the Icon where the Bckground can 
be changed.
Isaw themenu but was not able to change it because it was greyed and not 
possible to manipulate. So I wanted to do this as root. Switching user was not 
possible.So, I loged out and loged in as root. But as root the dialog to change 
the login screen crashes....such as many other programms and dialog from KDE 
4.0.2

-Discovering KDE4.0.2: I must say that most of the programms are not stable or 
crashes at boot.
Yes it i a alpha, but exepctthe desktop: none of the KDE4-applications are 
working. Othe Programms, like openoffice, are working fine/stable .
I hope you improve KDE4 otherwise, I will install KDE3 on my productive system 
when it is finished.

regards

Lars Steen
