Hi,
That Dell is pretty much the same machine as I have in the office and I
tested it there as well. I will test the iso on that mirror and make
sure its ok. If its ok then the problem is caused by the generating
script (mklivecd). If thats the case then I guess there is no other
realistic option than to switch distro. So, I will test it first and
then see what I have to do.
