Thank you, Leann, for your detailed and helpful response! a) I understand -- I'm just in "eval mode" myself, so working with beta software is not an issue. Is it safe to assume that, at Final Release in April, all repository components will be checked out and ready to go for 8.04?
b) & d) Great new features -- and the /testing pages are *very* helpful. c) Oh. 8.04 stands for "2008 April", not "August 4th" -- duh. Got it! Um, is there a "new features" page for Intrepid/8.10 yet? I'm downloading 8.04 Desktop and Alternate iso's now -- Will test LiveCD and install & test -- and will report as needed. Thanks again, Leann! warmest regards, -- Lorin On 3/25/2008 9:18 AM, Leann Ogasawara wrote: > Hi Guys, > > LEVIS Cyril - what version of the Hardy kernel are you running (cat > /proc/version_signature) > > Lorin, thanks for testing and the feedback.
