Hi,

I am running the liveCD on my laptop and besides some minor issues it works like a charm! Next desktop will surely get StormOS!

( The reason I'm not installing it now is because I need the Windows for work :-\ and StormOS (SOS?) needs my entire disk. )

Keep up the good work! I'll keep an I on it! :D

Anyway that a .wav file or some kind of sound queue could play when the gnome desktop is active? This away if a blind person were booting the livecd, you would know you could startup orca for instnace?

I'll try and work this into the next release, shouldn't be too hard.

Real nice, looking forward to giving it a spin on VB - The Gnome desktop on OpenSolaris is driving me insane and the KDE has yet not arrrived on the OSol platform, I reckon it is time to give Xfce a chance (It is my prefeered environment on the Solaris-terminals at the university) - StormOS seems ther perfect opportunity.

Many thanks for the hard work...

Thanks looking forward to giving this a spin on my Asus 1000H,

Looks good except for trash service error, but thats fine as far as I am not aware what exactly this means :) .There were no install or mouse problems. I have tried it in VirtualBox in 2.2.4.

Is this debug compiled version?

Cheers,
Anton

I thought I had fixed the trash error :( and no this is not a debug ISO.

Thanks,
Andy

How the final version will be called?
"Storm OS 1.0"?

....so "StormOS Hail"
