Here's a small utility for launching applications.

has anyone reported the mount problems associated with gaining access to CIFS resources.

In other words, "mount -t cifs -o ...." does not and has not worked in 600. Never could connect to the NAS units with 600.

Also, the SAMBA included is 4 years old???

Other than those 2 -3 obvious items, the distro appears clean.

I did NOT remaster because of the current issues I found. Thought it best to wait.

Here to help

just installed 600 final, seems nice.
installer starts up way to long, with no visual aid. thought it didnt work, clicked several times. after 2 minutes got several installer windows.

btw, is there any way to remove built in software? (except unsquashfs)

I downloaded and installed the 600 final to a flash after burning it to a dvd.
The checksum for the devx didn't match, maybe it was still uploading?
Will try again in the morning.
The nvidia pet works good.

Thanks for the Firefox version of FD64 600.
Much appreciated that Q5sys and smokey01 provide space for the iso.

I wonder about this small and big initrd thing.
The big initrd do boot very fast on my netbook
from the HD but if I remember one need the small
initrd.gz on CD/DVD or even on USB? And maybe
add the waitdev=5 or similar to allow the USB to stabilize?

So for internal HD one can trust that the big initrd works best?
