--- Comment #12 from Stefan Dirsch
Because it never happened while running the LiveCD environment. I install to hard-disk from LiveCD, then boot the new installation. Then, it's either the black screen or it works, displays normal graphics, but without compositing.
Well, I no longer understand, when you see the issue with black screen. When running LiveCD or after booting the system you've installed on your harddisk during running LiveCD. I kind of need to give up here.
This might work if release notes are automatically displayed right after the click to download by some clever web script.
A link below or on top of the download link ("Read this before downloading and running the LiveCD image") would be enough I believe.
Do you believe this bug is specific to LiveCD only?
Yes, it is.
I think it's the same for DVD, too.
No, that's a wrong assumption. Since we still use fbdev for installation you always can install the system. Afterwards you might run into the same issue, but luckily you had the chance to read the release notes before during installation, so you know what to do, i.e. try with "nomodeset" at the boot prompt.
A single document should apply to both DVD and LiveCD. No need to create two separate versions. Just display the Release Notes right after the click to download.
I believe you can use the same document for both, yes. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
