Hi Israel,

Testing again, with today's iso file

and I will write comments inline in the report from the previous iso file.

Best regards

The same problem: nm-applet shows and error (white x on red circle)

fixed: ztweaks starts from the menu

grub-install (the package grub-pc) is not installed

I think this worked in the previous version, but now I cannot install
with apt-get.

'No file name for e2fslibs', and it does not help with

apt-get -f install  # which is recommended

But the pae kernel can be installed (the chroot works)

I can install programs into the installed system.

Boots normally now

The network is on, and nm-applet looks OK too :-)

The touchpad works better now :-)

It seems that the other operating systems were not found when
update-grub was run via chroot during the installation. It works now, in
the installed system. This is like it was in the previous version.

One big improvement and some minor improvements :-)

One new problem detected: I cannot install packages into the live system
(which mkusb wants, and needs to make persistent live drives). This also
affects nano, that needs installation. Now there is segfault again.
