Re: [Vectorlinux-devel] new iso image for testing soho vl6.0

[M0E L. <m0...@gm...>]

Hi guys.

@ Newtor -
Actually, A1.9.5 is up there now... the installer has changed a lot
from the last ISO up to now.

-----------

Just wanted to give everyone an update.
The installer is shaping up quite nicely thanks to the bug
reports/tickets on vlcore.vectorlinux.com

I think we're mighty close to being ablet o put this thing out for
public testing.
The latest ISO as of today is A1.9.15 which I have just tried along
with the latest installer.
Installation goes as smooth as can be for me... but then again, I
wrote the thing, so it may have developed a relationship with me for
all we know ;)

There is one un-tested area still in the installer... Importing user
accounts. The code is there, but no debugging has been done on it as
of yet. I hope to get that polished up by next week.

Anyway, This email is about the latest ISO.
I've found a couple of hickups in the ISO itself.

1) The resulting installed system enters a endless configure/reboot loop
2) The xinitrc included in the skel points to an xfce session, which
retults in kdm just looping around because it can't find it
3) KDE freezes on startup on my VBox VM.
4) The os-prober package is missing from the resulting installation.
we need it there for grub configuration.

@ Vector & @ Uelsk8s
I have added my .gtkrc config files to the svn dep dir
http://vlcore.vectorlinux.com/trac/vinstall/browser/deps
Put these on the initrd in /root/ it makes the installer look a lot
better @ lower resolutions.

Again, everybody thanks for the bug reports.
