Hi, Although I refreshed the ISO with the zsync command, it's still says 20130920.
I want to test it in a laptop IBM T30 with the Intel Pentium 4 - M 1.8 Ghz CPU and 1 GB RAM. I burned it to CD, and my machine seems not to boot to CD anymore. I started the CD on my main machine, a tower which has more than enough and there the CD worked perfect, so I used it to create a bootable USB stick with USB Creator and now I started it in the T30. While in my tower I tried Gnome Mplayer, which ran a video quite well. The driver used was nouveau : it's the first time I see it work mostly well in this machine, with a nvidia gs8400 GPU. Only the colors seemed less colourful than usual with the nvidia driver. While there I installed mesa-utils and looked the output of "glxinfo | grep rendering" and the answer was "yes". I would like to suggest adding mesa-utils to the distro, which is very small, and also htop which I find very handy, particularly if needed in a virtual console. The T30 : It has only USB 1.1, but although it is slow to use to install from a bootable USB stick, it has always worked so far. The one condition for it to work : not tick the option "install updates while installing". This always fails in my machines because they often don't have enough RAM. The boot in the IBM T30 does look a bit ugly, but this is normal, the driver and the GPU don't play very well together. The GPU is a ATI mobility 7500 and I think it's vesa which displays the boot splash? I chose to use a partition where a former Ubuntu was installed, at /dev/sda5, and use it as is without changing it's size : just format to ext4 and install all to '/'. Strangely the installer states something looking like "redimensionning might take some time", although the partition will be used without changing it's size. ZRAM at work : it works. No problem met so far. Install starts. Install has gone through and is finished. A long time after I selected the "reboot now" option of the "Install finished" window, the system has not yet restarted, therefore I will use the SysRQ REISUB to restart (Ctrl+Alt+F1 does not respond).
