Unfortunately, it failed during boot on my Dell Studio 14z laptop (1440),
so I think DF just doesn't like this hardware.  I did try booting without
ACPI and AHCI, but no luck.  Lots of errors, but where it failed each time
was at device "xpt".  I can provide exact error messages, if you want.

Hi,<br>

I&#39;ve been working on and off on a better, XFCE based DVD/IMG for some t=

The USB image is larger than 4GB, unfortunately (I think around 5GB, as it =
was too full with 4GB).<br>
<br>
In addition to what we ship on our regular CD/IMG, it has the following pac=

It might at least save some time for those who want to install or try out u=
