Boy, that's showing some restraint...... |

Of my (3) installs using LiveCD 2006.0, all three had to be |
9 |
completed manually, Lots of wasted time using LiveCD 2006.0. |
10 |
This was a result of scant-to-nil documentation explaining |
11 |
what path (i.e. sequence of choices) to follow. So you just |
12 |
have to float around the various 'sequences of choices'. Once |
13 |
I got a bootable kernel out of the liveCD 2006.0, I learned |
14 |
to finish the installation manually. (ugly, real ugly)... |
15 |
On a positive note, the liveCD 2006 does do a pretty good job |
16 |
of hardware discover, selection and driver loading. |

Currently, *in my opinion*, the manual installation process |
19 |
is the only one to use. I have some additional systems to |
20 |
to install, but, I'm waiting for 2006.1, which should be |
21 |
released any day now. [1] will let you track the progress |
22 |
of 2006.1 liveCD release schedule...... |
23 |
|
24 |
I'd be willing to beta test it, if it were released... |
25 |
( I'd even promise not to bitch or ask any questions to anyone, |
26 |
if a BETA of livedCD 2006.1) were available, for us commoners. |
