Hi Tobias, I re-ran the installer and took a few shots of it. http://yoperstuff.kernowyon.org.uk/2.92/ in there are 3 .png files which are simple screenshots showing hopefully areas of interest. yos1.png shows the suspend2 error and hotplug fails yos2.png shows the above and also the powernowd issue yos3.png is the actual screen following the issue of the yis install script. Hope this is of use. Using the VM, I can capture various points in the install like that which is often useful Cheers, Mark _______________________________________________ yoper-dev mailing list [email protected] https://morpheus.pingos.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/yoper-dev
