Dennis,
While I haven't looked at the script, I thought I'd give your new
restore cd a try.
The install went well, although very slowly. Something has
evidently changed in the 'formatting' of the Qube's drive, my test Qube has
a 40GB unit, which took a good hour and a half to complete. The same unit
and 1.6.1 takes around 15 minutes, however, I personally don't see this as
a problem, just worthy of a mention.
I like the improved messages during install, I know a lot of
people ignore the lcd display, but it can be invaluable. It's also good to
see you have fixed paneld, I don't think the buttons have worked correctly
since 2.0
Biggest fix for 3.0 - the Qube obtains an IP via dhcp after it's
first reboot - thanks for fixing that.
Thanks once again for all your work and another great restore cd.
Good to hear from you,
Kind Regards,
Pete.
