Vl-Dyn-5.9.8.9 bug report

I got the latest iso, very nice indeed, great packages selection (as usual)

These are the bugs I hit (mostly minor, didn't make any strechting of
the installation either):

---- INSTALL ----
** Some typos and grammar in the Readme:
 - The first paragraph is odd, has "flavour" too many times.
 - When mentioning the kernel source/headers says "for your hacking
convenient", wich sounds as a typo to me.
 - In "New libraries" > Multimedia > "mesh with" should be "mess with"?
 - in "Acknowledgments" >  "of cource" should be "of course".


---- FIRST BOOT - X CONFIGURATION ----

** The console didn't fit well in the graph behind it, so it
overlapped the frame at the right side. I guess it was 1 or 2 columns
too wide.

** I _think_ I was asked to select my keymap twice. Not the usual
installation/configuration stages but twice at the config stage.

** The installer didn't detect my monitor's Sync values, so X testing
failed during the install and could start without further
configuration. The process kept on fine beyond that.

** Bootsplash. At 800x600 the progress bar doesn't, well... progress.

** If the system boots stright to runlevel 4 the keymap is wrong,
AltGr doesn't work and I cant switch to tty2 by pressing Ctl+Alt+F2.
It does work if I Kill the Xserver > init 2 > startx  0_o


---- PACKAGES -----

** Xpdf is missing libt1.so.1
** gyachi is missing libltdl.so.3

** LinNeighborhood seems to be missing the patch that makes it samba 3
compatible:
http://www.bnro.de/~schmidjo/faq/index.html#faq17

Btw, I have seen distros where the full samba is NOT required for
LinNeighborhood to be able to browse and share mounts.


---- XFCE Menu ----
** Found many apps are missing from the menu. As they aren't mentioned
anywhere else either, they are not noticed and, what's worse, the
distro seems to use too much space for few apps.
- Missing: d4x, dillo, grsync, putty, knocker, LinNeighborhood, medit,
epdfview, xpdf, xchm, lmms, xcdroast, Aterm,  mrxvt.
- Misplaced: xchat, gmplayer, xine.


keep up the excelent work!
Kudos :)
