Hi Ali, Are Israel's brief instructions here enough to test these pre-alpha iso files of ToriOS? - I think so, at least together with the two emails referred below. I think it is enough at this early stage, because it is very straight-forward to download and test them 1 - the iso file made with Jörn's scripts 2 - the iso file made with 9w. I have tested them in a few different computers (with and without virtualisation). I also refer to my emails dated 2014-05-30 14:14 and 2014-05-30 21:31 Before you start writing some kind of manual for these iso files, please try them yourself (I'm pretty sure both versions will work for you) and re-consider what kind of instructions are necessary. I think we should improve the product itself at this stage - add some software packages - make it look like ToriOS Best regards Nio -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~torios Post to : torios@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~torios More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
