Hi,
I have installed your version of RH7.1 and the system now works pretty good
for me. Thanks for the great work. 
Anyway there is what I deem to be a small bug in the setup and it is related
to devfs and IDE cdrom players.

On both my own and a friends computer the installation failed (both cases
being fresh installs, not upgrades)  in setting up the cdrom player which I
think was caused by /dev/cdrom already existing. When I deleted /dev/cdrom
and rebooted devfs managed to create /dev/cdroms/cdrom0 and make a symlink
to /dev/cdrom and things started to work well.

You might also want to consider removing some packages like the Red Hat
sound configuration tool since it doesn't work with devfs and only confuses
people since it seems to work ok, but then gets reset at reboot. I had never
used devfs before this so it took me some time and reading before I figured
out what was happening.

Sincerely,
Christian
