Testers are needed in order to identify other problems. The buildscripts for the livecd can be checked out from SVN:
svn co svn://svn.linuxfromscratch.org/livecd/branches/unionfs/
We might get more testers on this if we:
1) Build the iso ourselves and upload it to the mirrors
2) Announce on the list that we need testers to download and test the iso. (Maybe to the lfs-dev list, too)
Also there is a need to bring the README file and its translations from the previous livecd up to date. I'll start a separate thread when the contents of the English README file are decided upon.
Besides that, there is a plan to create the "console autoconfigurator". I want to be able to boot linux as e.g. "linux LANG=ru_RU.KOI8-R" and have the proper screen font and keymap set for me automatically. However, implementation of this feature requires your help. I just don't know the mapping between LANG values and proper console settings for all languages. Please submit your LANG variable and the contents of /etc/sysconfig/console file that works for you. Otherwise, I will have to guess.
Again, for the above two paragraphs, we might have to CC lfs-dev on whatever announcement or request you have for that. I don't think we have quite the number of subscribers/readers on this list yet to get the sort of response that would be helpful. Keep the posts coming here, :) but for items that we need feedback on from the general community, lfs-dev should be able to take a CC or two.
