I'd like to know several things...
-If QtParted didn't see your hard disk, how did it install to begin with? The installer relies on QtParted to format your hard disk.
-All Linux users know to be careful with the root account, and it's unlikely that a new user would go into root mode unless told to do so, though I do agree that a root password should be required. This is the only thing I don't like about this distro
-Since when did laptops have such high resolutions? The highest resolution I've seen on any laptop (including my mother's and grandmother's grand spankin' new laptops) is 1024x768
-Every USB mouse I've used has worked with Ark. What one are you using that it doesn't work? A wireless mouse that requires proprietary software? Ark doesn't use proprietary software, so of course you'd have to install this yourself, but if it's a wire mouse, it should work.
-Would you possibly have a damaged sound card, or one that isn't well supported by a vanilla kernel?
-Where did you install your Broadcom's firmware to? I use one, it works perfectly with the firmware installed by the bcm43xx-fwcutter and am using the b43 driver
-Suspend and Hibernate only work in Mandriva, not in the many other distros I've tried (Ubuntu, Suse, Red Hat...the list goes on). You actually expect this to work in one mere distro?
-It's rare to see an Ethernet card not working...how old is yours?
Ark is the first out of five (including UBUNTU) to fully work on my hardware.
