Hi all, I got 9.0 when it came out in Germany and am wondering if anyone is having the same problems I'm having. 1. the file associations for OpenOffice.org are not setup. This should really be a no brainer. It opens the file in Ark. I've fixed the problem but this is just silly. Is their a fix in the works 2. When I try to install 9.0 on my laptop (HP ze4125) It gets to the welcome screen and nothing more. You can't choose a safe kernel or anything. The guys at the local LUG were also stumped. I'm going to try to make my own boot cd (no floppy drive) and install over the network when I have time. The other versions booted very nicely. This is quite a popular laptop. 3. Sometimes when I killed the x server with control + alt + backspace everything froze. It seemed to only occur when I was setup with auto login. it works fine now that I've added my wife's account. If these things have been mentioned then kindly let me know.
