Excuse me, but I already downloaded this ISO, burned and tested it and as I
wrote to Henrik in a PM it freezes sometimes. Actually it freezes frequently
and I cannot say why. If I switch to Orcas learning mode I can't return from
it for instance and in some cases the whole desktop freezes. Neither does the
system react on keyboard interaction nor on mouse interaction.

Furthermore Edgy doesn't always come up with speech support even when the
suggested settings at the boot prompt are made. It worked for the first time
and I was just amazed about the system, but unfortunately things went wrong
from this point on.

Check it before attempting to present it to maybe interested people, for it
would be tragic if these people get the impression it just doesn't work.

Regards,
Christian

P.S.: Sorry Henrik you probably got this message twice... my fault!
