@Lucas

Hi Lucas,

I have booted the new iso
and evaluated my own 'upgrades'.

I did _not_ install the iso because I updated several Programs and 
translated some in Dutch Language.
By the way nL_NL.UTF-8 is somehow not 'persistent'.

Maybe I can send some 'translations' as a contribution ?

My 'Data' attached below.
To be continued ...

That's it - for now,

Greetings,

 From 'Holland',

Martin.

(<-) Output of boot.log

-> After appending  changed _contents_ of GoboLinux-016.01-alpha-x86_64.iso '/Programs' and Symlinking them ...

What happened with the boot logic ( BootScripts ) ?

(1) Boot -> mounts in fstab don't get mounted

    I use a seperate 'home' partition for '/Users' including 'root'.

    After login I'm welcomed with: "No directory, logging in with HOME=/"
    I use a seperate "manager' partition for grub '/System/Kernel/Boot/Manager'

    After login mount -a -f -t nonfs,nosmbfs,nocifs,noproc,noswap,nodevpts,nosysfs
    will do the trick ... but

(->) Output of boot.log:

Mounting local file systems...

(->) But: - except 'root'  - nothing else gets mounted  ...

I think 'allover' something's happening around the 'Exec' command and the shifting of '$1'

Rebooting takes a lot of time ...
Either with 'reboot' or 'shutdown -r now'.
More than two minutes ... ?

Compile -> still missing headers when using Freshen ?

While using  GoboLinux-016.01-alpha-x86_64.iso:

Missing Gobonet ? in the upper region. No wifi ?
Compiling S-lang and MidnightCommander was no problem ?
( No use of Runner ? )
