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

[Newtor <gen...@gm...>]

Hello John and M0E,

Thanks for the explanation of the TUI installers current status; explains why I
cannot continue past step 1. I'll stick with the GUI installer for testing right
now. So far, it seems to be coming along nicely. M0E offered me some advise in
getting my network active prior to running the installer which I will begin doing
from now on. I'm snagging A1.9.17 now and will put it to test a little later.

Thanks all!!

Cheers, newt
