I'm gonna have to totaly repartition my drive when it does (found out LILO doesnt like OS's at the end of the HDD which is where Linux is on my 80GB...doh)

And I'm test firing the beta CD for the first time in just a couple of minutes. Will let you guys know how close to finished it is in a bit. I'm thinking it's 99% done, but I'll have to see if everything works before I can be sure.

On average, I do about 9-15 release candidates before I get something worth putting on the OCix website. Be glad I'm not giving you guys one of these broken releases.
Turns out I had to learn some new tricks for this one in order to setup isolinux instead of syslinux as the method for booting off the CD- otherwise the 2.6 kernel would not be selectable.
I added enlightenment. I still haven't figured out how to load the previous gnome session, so tweaking gnome has not gone anywhere yet since I can't reload the changes I've made.
This first release will have a tweaked KDE, fluxbox, and icewm- but none of those will be quite perfect. I should get those fixed pretty quick and get enlightenment and gnome tweaked up a little too.

I'm uploading a 698MB iso now. It will finish sometime around 9 or 10 PM CST. I'll update the overclockix site with the new link once I'm sure its finished uploading.
This is the official Beta release. I have not conducted thorough testing on it yet, nor added much in the way of documentation. So all day I'll be using it on my desknote and searching for bugs. I'll post back here occaisionally to list off any problems I find so you guys can decide if you want to download it now or wait until tomorrow for me to fix any problems I find.

Bug report-
gnome not starting
default keyboard layout at boot-up still german
kmenu missing entries
have to use sudo su instead of just su in order to become root without entering a password, tried to make an alias in .bashrc to take care of this but its not working
need to change moutnetdrive script to launch a regular terminal instead of a root terminal
possible problems with captive drivers, will remove included drivers in favor of using the captive installer to download them on demand
Looks like it would be wise to wait until tomorrow morning when I can have a fixed iso uploaded.

About 8pm CST, I think. I'll announce it and stick a link on the overclockix page when its done. I'm ready to complain to my ISP for the 20th time for cutting my upload speed in half while doubling my download. I used to be able to upload an iso in less than 6 hours....
