The problems do not affect the corresponding Gnome-based images. The first problem is that, unless and until the OS has been installed to a hard disk, and the missing packages have been manually identified and added to the installation, USB sticks will not be mounted automatically. The second problem is that, in the absence of the relevant HAL packages, the OS cannot be installed using a LiveUSB stick, whether that stick has been created by the usual "dd" technique or through UNetBootin. This is particularly inconvenient when installing to a netbook. While I agree that an upstream fix would be highly desirable in the medium term, I believe that, in the interests of less-experienced users, this bug should be treated as being a release blocker, and an appropriate fix put in place. -- 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.
