Re: [Vectorlinux-devel] VL6.0-SOHO-A1.38 + txz

:( Installer looked ok, but failed to create a user (I didn't import, 
since I couldn't remember the user name I'd been using for the 
alphas...). At that point the installer fell over. I had skipped the 
bootloader install (already have Grub legacy installed).

When I attempted to boot, I found no vmlinuz and no kernel modules had 
been installed.

One observation - moving to .txz packages will break MC's ability to 
view package contents. The svn version of MC that is being used by 
Slackware is badly broken - from my point of view, the most important 
problem with it being the fact that Fish no longer works properly. I use 
Fish far too much to be able to move to any version of MC that doesn't 
support it properly.

This one is far more broken on my hardware than most of the ones I've 
tried recently.
