Hi there, going to install 7.1b on my notebook this evening. just not to waste time with installing and not able to boot after that, i want to ask if the apm patch is included in the kernel. (Its a well known bug that freezes several types of notebooks while booting, don't know the exact message right now). The patch is only a few lines of code, i hope you guys included that. (was not included in air) sorry if that was already mentioned on the list, maybe i missed something. Lot's of list traffic these days. -cteg
