Pixel,

Since I reported that for my Matrox Millenium G200 AGP video card nothing
appears after the purple line when booting from hd.image, a new hd.image
dated 2000 01 06 appeared.   I reported to you that it did NOT fix this
problem.

There is now a second new hd.img with a timestamp 2000 01 08 01 47.     This
is to report that this new hd.img suffers from exactly the same problem.

To release something with known bugs, when you know that it will have to be
worked on to conform to spec and released again is a wasteful misuse of the
release cycle and beta testing cycle.   There may occasionally be a case to do
so, but such a provisional release must be marked as such and be accompanied
by copious release notes documenting the known deficiencies.       Surely
this is all just plain common sense?       We beta testing volunteers just
don't want anything that isn't finished.
