Hi again Christopher,

I think you know at least as much as I about testing :-D

Anyway, you need to live too, so only if you have some time now  ...
please try installing Lubuntu from an alternate iso. You would help us
perform a good beta 1 test. I think it will finish today or tomorrow.

If you have better time in a week or two it will be past beta 1, but
there will be beta 2 and release candidates before Saucy will be
released in October, so don't worry, there will be plenty of tasks.

Best regards
Nio
