| '''[https://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/ Bugs] ''' of latest LiveCD image * Certain machines have the notorious GRUB Error 21 boot problem. To be investigated further. No known workaround as of now, needs further investigation. Probably we should think about going back to isolinux. Probably User should upgrade their BIOS isn't a solution, maybe it helps. |

More details at GnoppixLive. == Remastering == The LiveCD is based on [http://www.morphix.org Morphix ]. = Ongoing development = == New live CD design == An entirely new infrastructure is being developed for the live CDs for the [obsoleted by HoaryHedgehog / HoaryGoals] release, with the following goals: * Support for all officially-supported Ubuntu architectures * Simpler, more maintainable design * Sharing of code with other Ubuntu components which need similar functionality * Bootstrapping * Hardware detection * System configuration (locale, network, etc.) * X server configuration * Look and feel more like an installed Ubuntu system * Provide a framework for advanced features * Session save/restore * Live USB media * Live netboot sessions == Testing == Notes and caveats: - Log in as 'root' for now - The boot process asks a few too many questions. This will be fine-tuned as development continues - X isn't configured yet (but this work is nearing completion). If you can copy in a working xorg.conf, run `/etc/init.d/gdm start` to start an X session Here you'll find some testcases https://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/QAtesting. Feel free to add more cases. == Downloading == Daily test images are available here: - http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/ - rsync://cdimage.ubuntu.com/cdimage/daily-live/ |
