Ummm. Ok.
I'm not sure I understand what you are implying by this. By the time
tested the beta installer, the bug had been fixed in the daily images.
I found this out and did not bother reporting a bug which had already
been fixed. They don't regenerate the beta images, so that bug is still
there. This is why I recommended to not try the beta 4 discs.
