Guess this is good testing too, so consider this feedback. Next issue: Compaq iPaq Desktop P3-866, Intel 82801 all integrated machine. Before upgrade, it would load module e100, bring up eth0, and configure with dhcp on live boot. After upgrade, no network. I see both e100 and e1000 loaded. eth0 will not come up eth1 does come up and will connect. |

No change. I can connect manually or using VLwifi. wicd sees nothing. Separate problem: The "e1000" module loads on machine that needs "sky2" for operation. Same thing on computer that uses "e100" module. This causes eth0 to be unavailable. eth1 can be brought up manually. If these issues are unique to the LiveCD, again I would suggest turning it loose using the old kernel. If not, they may affect other machines running Light or Standard, and should be pushed to the forefront for fixing. |

Hello All, My definition of a live distro is two: 1) it's either the only release format for a distro and acts as the primary install medium, or 2) it's a supplemental release for a distro and acts as a way to "try out" the distro prior to installing from a more standard install-only medium. I think VL falls into the second category and, as such, should not be required to make sure the live environment is as up-to-date as the standard install medium (let alone, _more_ up-to-date). As an example of what I said above, if someone liked the live light but was having troubles getting it installed we would recommend them to download the primary non-live install iso to install the system, and then recommend that they upgrade the kernel after installation. I don't see why the live distro can't fall under the same criteria; install and upgrade the kernel. I tend to be in agreement with Roy regarding getting the Light Live iso out-the-door with the old (unpatched) kernel. Based on my test runs, and what I've gathered from others, it has run very smoothly for folks. A new kernel, regardless of how unimpacting it's supposed to be, always has some sort of impact and we'd have a hard time knowing what the impacts will be without extensive testing. Based on Roy's couple of test machines he's run across problems on both machines with the newer/patched kernel. To help support this, I just upgraded the kernel on my standard gold install on my laptop which was working great. After the upgrade my wireless no longer worked. All I needed to do was modprobe the module to get it working again, but how am I to know what else might not work as it was prior to the upgrade. I really can't until I actually come across the problem, and most likely it will be easy to fix, but perhaps not - and 'easy' to me may not be so easy to someone else. Common sense tells me that if all I'm doing is swapping a kernel for a same-version-kernel (same config) then everything should work as it was, but I would be wrong, and I think this might be where Roy's coming from. I certainly see the other side as well: We should provide an iso that's as up-to-date as possible, especially in regards to security concerns, if we have the ability. The problem basically comes down to manpower and testing. How long do we wait to release something? How up-to-date is sufficient? For instance, soho took a several day hit because it was upgraded from kde 4.2.x to 4.3.x. At some point we need to say that this will be what it is and move on; put the upgrade in the repo for testing but not worry about making them work on the release. VL6 is based on SW12.1. SW12.2 has been released for quite some time, and 13.0 is (I think) nearing it's final release. Overall, I'm just thinking that we should get the live distro out the door in it's unpatched_but_well_working form so that we can concentrate on finishing SOHO6. After all, SW13.0 will be here soon and we can start this whole rigamarole again in a few months :D. Not to mention the spread out spacing of releases to help our standing on the all_unimportant_but_important distrowatch rankings :D That's all. If this seemed like I was being critical or harsh, I wasn't. Just trying to help shed some light on my take on the release of Light Live. I'm okay either way, just prefer the sooner release than the later. Cheers, newt |

More testing brainstorming: I upgraded kernel on a system with Light 6. Rebooted, and no network. Rebooted again, and now network was back to normal. Maybe I just didn't give it enough time and reboots? |

May have been a good thing we went down this road testing new kernel. Further testing indicates a bit must have got flipped between B3 and B4, because I have wicd problems in B4 that did not appear earlier. Starting over. |

The computer I used to make the ISO on refused to boot the other day. Looks like flaky hardware may have caused a problem. Add a botched kernel upgrade and Live B4 was doomed. So I started over, using the same laptop that Light itself was made on, upgraded kernel, even got greedy and added vlnvidia and vlati. My own testing looks pretty good so far. Nvidia GF 5200 and 6200 cards work great. Not so sure about vlati, though. Maybe someone who have a known good ATI card could test it. I'm starting the upload right now, before heading out to the Cincinnati Brewhaha festival. 80 beers to sample from! The upload should be done about 21:00 EDT. It is very optimistically called RC1. If a web site operator could move it to public and announce it's availability that would be great. Great weekend, guys. Roy |

Hello, There is a 'PASSWORDS' document on the desktop with the passwords that worked for me. I've only test one boot option but it worked great. I'll try the remaining boot options and report back.

The password is "vector".
