Yep, truncated downloads with both the livecd/livedvd, sorry for not checking first. (What I really needed to hear from you is whether you expected the livecd/livedvd to Just Work, and I hear "Yes"). This gets me a bit farther with the OpenMAMBA livecd/livedvd, to the splash screen with the "default" selection. However, I'm not able to select, and the "Automatic boot in 1 second.." just hangs. This is Snow Leopard and VMFusion fwiw. > To avoid being off topic here, you can write me privately or subscribe to an > openmamba list (see http://www.openmamba.org/lists/?lang=en). > Thanks for reporting. > OpenMAMBA is just one (of ~10) VM's I'm trying to setup in order to establish infra-structure to move @rpm5.org to a "continuous integration" development model using buildbot's. That's the part that is directly relevant to <rpm-devel@rpm5.org>, the OpenMAMBA specific issues are just one of the first efforts to go public (I'm also attempting IDMS and Unity and Ark and Yoper linux VM's privately). But yes I will address OpenMAMBA specific issues privately if you prefer. 73 de Jeff ______________________________________________________________________ RPM Package Manager http://rpm5.org Developer Communication List rpm-devel@rpm5.org
