Hi guys and gals,
First time here. After trying out Pardus 2009 in virtualbox i decided to put it in it's own partition in my laptop. The install went fine however upon first reboot grub doesnt show up Linux mint 8. Looking at the grub/menu/lst sure enough there is no entry of LM8. I'm kindof used to have it done automatically whenever i install other debian distros. I believe i have to add LM8 entry by hand?? or i like to know if there is on-the-fly method to do so. Below is my /etc/fstab and grub/menu/lst entries:
#Â See the manpage fstab(5) for more information.

After completing the fresh install i did a pisi up -c system.base. No problem there. Then i did a pisi up and it fetched the required updates. I rebooted and after some time fiddling the desktop i experience a blackout of my desktop. Has anyone experience this after their first upgrade? I would like to hear what the Pardus experts can advise regarding this issue.
What is the official app used by Pardus folks to connect their 3G usb device? There is no 3g profile whatsoever in kaptan network setup, only wifi and eth0. If there is i would like to know. Searching the forum topics it seems like 3G usage in Pardus is still a hit-and-miss thing. I maybe wrong so i await the good folks thoughts. FWIW i was able to have kppp connect online. It may be 2nd nature to experience linux users but for newbies i dont think so. Something like the network manager in LM8 should make things fairly simple
