Any comments are wellcome...
Bogdan,
Later : I read your web site and installed it on a test VM as a floppy image. Works fine, I ran it at 1024 * 768 and it displayed correctly, menu system worked fine, tried out drawing a window with the "dialog" style drawing tools. ABout the only bad thing was when I was playing with the circle draw I went past zero and got it to lock up that way. Impressive effort and very small for its capacity. :U
Hutch,
Thank you for testing it ...
I should have thought of such a decent bug like: a zero radius for the circle :D
As I have said before I did not have the time for proper bug checking before this release.
So any tests you guys (or girls?) do make is really helping me a lot and will be included as "hot fixes" into the next release ;)
WOW! I have been testing your distro and I am impressed :thumbu
The only strange thing that I found is my HDD drive size is misreported as 897mb. It is over 18gb (c=6.53gb, d=12gb)
Also, check for typos, for example wellcome should be welcome. I know that is a minor thing but I am just trying to help.
no-one
Ooops,
Thanks for testing...
I will check the HDD size detection routine... maybe I forgot a bug inside ;)
and i am pretty sure that I have made a lot of typos... thanks for pointing them out
BTW SOLAR is an OS in it's early stage of evolution...
not a "distro" of another OS neither based on other OS whatsoever ;)
Sorry. OS, I will remember.
