Have the Italian LoCo got a testing procedure? (i.e. it boots, it fails and so on) Also is this burning ISO to CD or could we just throw it onto a USB stick to test? I can test pretty much anything these days (can do 32bit/64bit on various machines) so am quite happy to help. > There's no single person who has > to test every single ISO, and some people only test one of them.
