Hi, I don't know why you aren't happy with your Live DTP CD, since it seems to me very stable -- imho, certainly more than an alpha release. First, it launched without problems, which is not so obvious on my Dell Inspiron 6000, with its SATA DVD drive and other such oddities. Secondly, every single program I'd launched worked without problems, Scribus 1.3.2cvs, Adobe Reader 7, Inkscape, Gimp, Cinepaint, etc. Certainly, I've noticed some small issues (like missing Polish glyphs in Scribus GUI and text frames, when I launch Live DTP CD with lang=pl...) but why don't you simply release it as the first release candidate and hear what people say, while your computer will be recovering from the crash? A new DTP LiveCD RFE on the Scribus bug tracker could be a good solution for gathering the expected feedback, don't you think? BTW, this ISO seems to be good enough as a nice give away for all those Windows guys who simply want to know how Scribus 1.3.x looks and works... regards Maciej
