All application were tested in VM and we have 2 issues:

https://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo/ticket/949 - ossim needs libopenthreads.so.13 and version 14 is upstream
https://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo/ticket/968 - pink tiles in Geomoose demo

Please test and commit fixes. RC1 build in 36 hours as agreed.

Besides the good news that beta6 is pretty stable, I got to build the alternate iso:

http://aiolos.survey.ntua.gr/gisvm/6.0/osgeo-live-mini-6.0beta6-alt.iso

and I must say this is a huge improvement from previous alternate builds:

 * All applications are installed
 * We have a look and feel similar to any ubuntu spin off
 * Welcome screen issue is fixed
* Most files from /home/user are now available to the home folder of the live user. * Installation issues are expected to be fixed, since we use the default ubuntu installation method.

Issues to consider:

* Some java applications (Geoserver, Geonetwork, Deegree, Geomajas) do not have launchers available in the menu "Geospatial", although they can be initialized through their startup scripts. * Some applications need su to run (we must have a deep look at permissions) * There is a failure to load data into postgis and mysql due to user name issues.
 * Data symlink does not appear in home folder.
 * Live user is "xubuntu" instead of "user"

I would suggest to try it, you will like where this goes... :)

Cheers,
Angelos
