Well, there's more goin on than I can contemplate then Bryan.
You certainly should not have any problem with that hardware of
yours. I'm basing my opinions (ok, bias ;) on my experience that
the only time during the 10.0 development process, IIRC, at
beta1, CD1 wouldn't boot ... it was because I couldn't check the
md5sum of the burned CDr. A re-d/l (torrent) of the iso cured the
problem. That an I've made close to a half/dozen sets of 10-CE
CD's for other's ... and they've had no problems. Even on
hardware I wouldn't buy.
I'm just plain wrong on this. Probly why it took Warly so long
to figure out the problem too. As to Official, cooker updates
have slowed to a crawl since this last weekend. In the past
that's a sure sign, that after a little more testing, 10-OE will
be ready. Now whether it'll then be released right away under the
new scheme remains to be seen.
