-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 OK, now I dd'ed the raw-image, made in vm-manager, onto my USB-stick and tried to boot my thin-client from it, here is what I saw. The yellow colour is real, I am not faking this, it's a defective monitor cable. It does not matter much, my experience so far tells me that because of too tight security-restrictions on Debian-Testing, the image would probably not be usable anyway, i.e. no packages or software-updates would be installable, but it normaly should boot up at least.
