Hi, Moin, Olá etc

I am really, really happy with the absolutely excellent Xubuntu, thanks!

I did read through the blog and link info about helping with testing 
with very good intentions but it all went over my head and I could see 
that I would just be more trouble than help, given the time I have 
available (small child, work, house rebuild etc etc). ...snip ...

THANK YOU FOR A GREAT JOB!
(It's very much appreciated)

First - thanks for testing and your mail to this list.

Secondly - testing's not hard - certainly easier than it reads ... pop 
by the dev irc channel sometime and ask - we're a friendly bunch [1]

No, I've seen this 'problem' as well when installing Xubuntu, I've
never seen a "remove the installation medium" message and have to
guess when to take it out.  Often I get back to the installation
screen and have to remove the USB stick and reboot.

Mint certainly has it because I installed a copy the other day and there
it was right at the end before the reboot. I was pretty certain Xubuntu
had it, but I may just be wrong; and I think I've seen it in
RedHat-based systems too. It certainly makes sense: I can't imagine why
it wouldn't be there.

We have it.

I've seen it, and I do boot our iso's really regularly - though it can 
take a long time to appear.


That said I just rebuilt our iso's following an update to fontconfig 
(which was causing long boot time on live-session and for the 1st login 
post-install) and the remove media message turned up in a normal(ish) time.

OK I'll try that. It does seem a little odd and cumbersome though.

Sounds like a bug. After configuring monitor settings, try logging out and
back in.
