So where's the bug report in the Fedora bugzilla with the crash dump attached? > 2-) zyx-liveinstaller has been removed from the latest -326 version. > (It would not work either when it was included in the builds) > also dmc ([email protected]) the developer has given up on > trying to make it work on f13. The reason it was dropped was due to the fact the upstream maintainer has no interest in maintaining going forward in Fedora. So if its not supported upstream there's not much point including a broken tool it will only create confusion. > 3-)The only way I have found to make a working USB of Mirabelle in its > current state, > is to use the (f11-f12)liveusb-creator, either graphical or command line. > or the dd comand to make a non-persistent USB.

In fact its about 6 weeks away of the release of SoaS 3. The Fedora 13 beta isn't even out the door yet. The bug report is not much good without a backtrack from anaconda and it needs to be in the Fedora bug tracker other wise the people that can fix it won't see it. Its fine in the SL as a tracker. > ==Blueberry, on the other hand, worked with all of these techniques. I seem to remember there was issues with the installer about this time in the Blueberry release as well. Its not unusual to have anaconda issues at this time in the development process. If we get a decent bug report with all the relevant debug output I'll make it a blocker for the F-13 release. I'll also be testing SoaS in much more depth this week.
