Re: 4.0 or not ? Cookiso, website, doc

[indigo6@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

There are still multiple issues with video support in the rolling iso 
which have been discussed at length on irc, where development discussion 
for most open source projects takes place, but you haven't been there.  It 
might be worth reading the logs for the last week or more...

Also, I've found tazweb can't handle large pages - try loading 
http://mirror.slitaz.org/packages/cooking/ - probably related to this, the 
pacakge management interface in tazpanel fails if you select the category 
'all'...

As well, the drop down menu for installation still doesn't point to the 
install start page - instead, it goes to the second step and isn't clear 
that one needs to already have their partition table set up.

Overall, 4.0 is beautiful.  I have not been able to thouroughly test 
everything, though, but I have spent many hours diagnosing video issues. 
Things like regenerating the iso and installing to usb still need to be 
checked out.  Testing is easy - pretend you're a user who's never seen 
slitaz before, with only basic knowlege of linux, and use the gui the way 
most users will.  If you find a problem, then turn to your knowlege of 
slitaz and linux.  This needs to be done for both the liveCD and 
installed, but testing in a VM or chroot is insufficient.  The only way to 
have this upcoming release tested on a variety of hardware, is if a number 
of people do this.
