I have noticed the same from time to time, though thanks for posting about it.
I don't know why sometimes DHCPd seems slow to hand out an IP. I
really don't know why dhcp3-3.1.3 (both server and client tbh) is
almost 80k sloc of code.

No, haven't looked into it. I think I read somewhere that the newest Tiny
Core or Slitaz replaced the PDF reader with an online PDF reader, thus
probably just forwarding the file to the likes of Google Docs
(gPDF<[link]>will
do this). Probably not a good solution though, since printing depends

I'd like to of course. It's a question of making a stable Xorg
backport to lenny.
Which is a bit of work as per usual.

Just out of curiosity, do you plan to implement xrandr 1.3.2 in the
future?
Cheers.

I always use the latest from:
deb [link] sid/snapshots main contrib non-free
deb-src [link] sid/snapshots main contrib non-free
The idea is that I will spot problems and become a useful contributor
to the excellent Debian Live project.

I agree Chromium is super fast. I use it on my slower machines (x61)
since it gives them a new lease of life. :)
I should spend some time figuring out if I achieve a "kiosk mode" with
Chromium, like I (kinda) did with [link] I
still have not figured out how to nicely embed PDF into Chromium, have

Yes, I´ve seen your posts there.
Must be very frustrating posting some errors and never getting an
usefull answer.

Live helper 2.0 is for now unstable. So I really didn´t check an
update to 2.0~a3-1.

Why are you using this unstable version of live-helper?

I've also tried the usb-img on a Lenovo T60p. Had it running for about seven
hours with three homepages, among them a Flickr
slideshow<[link]>and the
Peacekeeper
benchmarking application<[link]>,
and kioskresetstation=3. The machine would consistantly overheat with

There has been several changes to live helper 2.0.

lh_config fails

I´ve tried to build my own wenconverger with this howto:

In older versions there was no problem running lh_config. But today I
did "git clone git://git.debian.org/git/debia n-live/config-webc.git".
After that I changed some files under webconverger/config.
Running command lh_config in webconverger/ brings up this message:

Yes, I agree. I have filed bugs though Mozilla do not seem very helpful. :(

I would be overjoyed if someone could take up this work. I am blocked
on it myself.
Kind regards,

Hi Kai,
I tried the usb-img with my test-pc.
Works fine.
It would be nice when in v6.x these Firefox-3.5-Bugs (non-persistently
change configuration settings in the about: URL and browse the local
filesystem) will be eliminated.

Another new release coming soon

Since 6.0 is naturally the next version, I was hoping to make sure
it's a good release.
If you have a few moments on a boring afternoon, please give these
images a whirl:

Hmm, I've found some hardware where a command that really should work
like `xvideomode=1024x768` (Webconverger boot option) which actually
runs `xrandr -s 1024x768` fails with:
Size 1024x768 not found in available modes
`xrandr` alone outputs the valid modes it has detected btw.
Of course the "work around" as you guys discovered is to write the
