Hello, I am glad to see most things working. There are still many rough edges. 1) I have not found easy way to disconnect WiFi. I tried to "Eject" the card using "PCMCIA/CF manager" but did not succeeded. Strangely enough, "Suspend" and then "Eject" sequence did worked. IMHO, the "WiFi monitor applet" must be integrated with "Aerial", with "Aerial" be enabled by default. BTW, the Aerial applet's "Turn WLAN off" did not worked. 2) Can the button inbetween of arrows (the round one) be mapped to ENTER? 3) Somebody already notticed it: When Icon is selected, the text underneath it is not visible at all (black rectangle). 4) No way to reboot the system from menu. It should be in menu, with mandatory "Are you sure" question. 5) Probably GPE bug: after the system boots up, time applet shows only hour and colon portion of time (like "03:"). After some time (probably when zero seconds are reached and number of minutes is updated) it gets redrawn properly. 6) After setting up altboot to boot from SD, it took me a while to read FAQ and to understand how to make the altboot not to loop by itself (hint: first choose "Boot from SD" and then "Normal Boot"). I think second instance of altboot can detect that it is not the first to show up and do proper thing. After the boot started, splash screen (The one with GPE and OE logos) appeared, and then the system printed following text (on top of the screen): INIT: Entering runlevel: 5 /etc/init.d/rc: 45: [: Input/output error /etc/init.d/rc: 50: [: Input/output error /etc/init.d/rc: 52: [: Input/output error /etc/init.d/rc: 101: [: Input/output error And the system stuck. I verified that all files on the SD are readable. -- Arieh
