Hi everybody,

I'm testing ToriOS-alpha-rc1.iso in my IBM Thinkpad with Pentium M.

The live system installed nicely and runs well in the desktop (with the
non-pae kernel 3.2.0-68-generic)

The network is OK, not only the IP numbers, but also names are resolved
now :-)

And the installer works / the tarball's name is still ball :-)

-o-

The installation was good. We know that the installed system is lagging
behind, there are bugs to be squashed and features to be tweaked, but it
works.

-o-

A comment about style: The borders of the xterm windows are not
different enough from the background, it is hard to tell two overlapping
windows apart.

A general comment: Congratulations to good progress Israel :-)

Best regards
Nio

ps/

I tested the bleeding edge mkusb version 9.0 via

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mkusb/unstable
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install mkusb

and it works (except that the font is bigger, so the Welcome and Warning
window must be made slightly wider). The desktop file is hardcoded in
the live session, so you should start the new one with

rox /usr/share/applications/mkusb.desktop

otherwise the old desktop will be used. The shellscript mkusb 9.0 will
run in both cases, but the console windows will be different.

This should be no problem in an installed system with a working network,
but I wanted to test it here to find out if the new version of mkusb
works with ToriOS.
