Congrats Boo!

Yay!!! Congrats.

Approved for stable release:

• Wine problem and double-kernel issues will be mentioned in the release notes.

Congrats Boo!

@jamie_boo: The solution is simply to create the directory for the C:\ drive using /etc/skel. That way, it's empty before you configure Wine, but at least the Browse C:\ works out of the box. Anyway, it's not that important and that can wait for Mint 10.

• Two kernels present

wine borwse does not work until you run the configure wine app, Im sure if the wine apps were orderd differently in the menu this "problem" would not be reported. ie configure wine above browse wine. I could try adding more to the skel/.wine directory but that may not replicate what configure wine really does.

The 64bit has the same fearure set (apps) as the 32bit but just having all the advantages of being 64bit.

• Wine->Browse C:\ drive doesn't work.

I'm having to hang on for a bit with testing this one as I don't know KDE well enough to change the language back to English, so I'll have to do another install when I get home.

Install with custom install: Warning

• Install went fine but still getting 2 versions of kernel just like before. System runs fine though. This was done from a diferent PC, my test PC, Dell laptop and not connected to internet during install.

The "two kernel" thing threw me for a loop for a second, but the French install with custom partitioning went off without a hitch, and my multitude of other systems showed up just fine.

Looks excellent in my opinion.

Sorry for the delay, I had to replace my HD on my test PC, had to wait until it got here. I am now doing manual install.

The ctrl-alt-backspace should not be working but if it is great. it a uer level setting that upsets keyboard layout if done by default. well until i find a better way.

Ok Exploder I will have to try that.

I think you have to press cont, alt, backspace twice now for it to work in the Mint 9 releases.

Ctrl, Alt, Backspace Test: Failed

• Press key combo and no result.

Mint For Win Test: Warning:

• Autorun the CD did not work
• Install went fine but still getting 2 versions of kernel just like before. System runs fine though.

ISO Linux Options Test: Failed

• Normal startup: Again got message that booting in low-graphics mode but booted with correct resolution for my LCD 1680x1050. Session ran fine.
• Compatability boot: Got message Ubuntu is running in low-graphics mode, Error: Vesa: Kernel modesetting (EE) driver in use, refuing to load.  (EE) No device detected. Click ok then chose run ubuntu in low-graphics mode just for this session. Then get message Stand by onr minute while the display restarts  then click ok. After that takes me back to Ubuntu running in low-graphics mode message and repeat all steps again and this time x-session does not start and I was left in terminal mode.
• Other boot option worked fine.
