LinuxICE Testing

**tripzero** · 05-12-2009, 11:45 AM

I'll be publishing livecd images of periodic development snapshots here.

As of now, they are pre-alpha and are NOT guaranteed to work. DO NOT INSTALL THIS ON A PRODUCTION MACHINE!

If you do want to help in the testing, download, load it up and see if it supports/sees your hardware. We are experimenting with different kernel builds and patches so any feedback on hardware support would be great.

Please, if you don't have much experience with Linux, wait until the final version.

Don't report bugs at this point either. when it goes beta, then we'll want your feedback on bugs. Right now, more stuff doesn't work than does.

thanks!

YES! I'll be trying this before the weekend on an old Pentium 3 or 4, can't remember what it is.

Right now (for the pre-alpha) the goal is to get the livecd to boot to a prompt (not the initramfs prompt, but the real bash shell). If you want to try it and give your thumbs up/down (works/doesn't) work, we'd appreciate it.

I also testing LinuxICE2-2009-05-14.iso and got down to the command line. The only issue is that you get an error saying that the mount point /tmp doesn't exit.
