[henrik ubuntu com: Re: still can't boot edgy!!!]

[Keith Watson <Kwatson smed yi org>]

Henrik,

Sorry if this is a double post. But I think mailman or mutt isn't 
working quite right when replying.

Anyway, my first reply asked for clarification on this. I would 
like to know exactly how to disable the splash on the edgy cd. I 
have not had good luck with this on 2 out of the 3 Dell systems 
that I am attempting to run it on.

I did cheat and got sighted assistance to install dapper and then 
upgraded to edgy with a dist-upgrade. I must say that I am 
thoroughly pleased with what I am seeing. I have a few issues, 
like nautilus not keeping the focus tracking well. But hey if 
that's all i can complain about it's got to be good.



Thanks,

Keith

Some PPC images were oversized for a while, but Knot2 is known to be good.

There is one mention of boot problems in the release notes:

  * The new version of usplash seems to cause the desktop CD to fail
    to boot for some people, if you experience that, removing "splash"
    from the kernel command line might help.

Are you able to tell if it gets to the first boot screen at all? (we 
will soon have a helpful sound for that, btw).
