Known Problems
##############

    Sometimes you may lost the input focus in X. If this happened, just switch
to another window, then switch back. This is caused by a patch applied to SCIM
to make Java applications work with SCIM. There's no fix for this problem yet.
But fortunately, this rarely happens.

#############
ISO emulation
#############

    This version supports boot directly from the ISO image via GRUB4DOS and
other boot loaders.

    Recent versions of GRUB4DOS supports ISO emulation, here is a example
menu.lst entry to boot the CDlinux ISO:

#============================== begin ==============================#
title GNU/CDlinux (ISO emulation)
        map --mem (hd0,0)/boot/CDlinux/CDlinux.iso (hd32)
        map --hook
        kernel (hd32)/boot/CDlinux/bzImage quiet CDL_IMG=CDlinux.iso
        initrd (hd32)/boot/CDlinux/initrd
        map --unhook
        boot
#=============================== end ===============================#

Or, if the former setting failed, add a line with "map --status" and try again:

#============================== begin ==============================#
title GNU/CDlinux (ISO emulation)
        map --mem (hd0,0)/boot/CDlinux/CDlinux.iso (hd32)
        map --hook
        map --status
        kernel (hd32)/boot/CDlinux/bzImage quiet CDL_IMG=CDlinux.iso
        initrd (hd32)/boot/CDlinux/initrd
        map --unhook
        boot
#=============================== end ===============================#

    For other boot loaders, you many need to extract the "bzImage" file and the
"initrd" file from the ISO first. Then boot them with the following parameters:

	CDL_DEV=xx CDL_DIR=yy CDL_IMG=zz
