Is 6.5 out yet? I mean
available for download?
I looked for it last week,
and could not find it.
I was expecting an
announcement here on this
list.

I am
downloading it now via bittorrent.
It is from a Russian site - so I believe it
is not English.
If you want to download it from the torrent,
the file is
attached.

Ok, thanks, I will try it anyway just by
curiosity.
Thank you,
Pierre
When you boot it, then
at the
boot prompt, type
linux lang=en
During boot, it will hang at the output
message:
Waiting for udev to ...(something..) I forgot the rest
of the message.
So, after about 1 minute at that message, type Cntrl-C
and it will boot all the way to level 5.
It is a very minor bug in the shell script that starts
udev daemon.
Please let me know if it worked for you.
Hi JD,
It worked fine on my Latitude D600 with no hang at udev,
but even with the 'lang=us' everything stayed in Russian (So I
guessed :-) )
(beautiful alphabet BTW)
I am happy to have had a glimpse of what's coming though.
Thanks,
Pierre
You can fix that too.
Unfortunately, I do not know the sure fire steps to do this on
Linux,
simply because I do not know how many sectors of the DVD
comprise
the boot. So I resorted to a windows util that can do it.
So, the file you will need to edit with the above utility is
/etc/environment
In that file, carefully replace every occurrence of ru with en
and every occurrence of RU with EN and save it.
then create a new ISO which will contain the edited file.
If you prefer any other language, you will have to use the 2
letter
name of that language, such as fr and FR for French.
Pls let me know if you were successful :)
Cheers,
JD
