Ok I did some tests and once you get it up ( no quemu or the like normal boots from the iso ) is working really fast.

I don't know any other 'LIVE Distros' working that fast from CD ( note I test on my poor laptop :P )

But still I found some bugs.

This is broken and does not work. The whole Theme is broken here.
1). I  get a 'black' box on the left with some numbers.
2) .The 'Live' part is missing a vga= and quiet part
3) f2 -> LNAG DE boots EN

Alsa startup drops weird errors ( is too fast to see what the errors are sorry ) , I didn't got sound at all.

Network does not work here ( I have 3 network cards ). We should  have :

1) an earyload=mod,mod,mod from initrd

or

2) an blacklist=mod,mod,mod from initrd

or

3) both

So one can tell what card to use. ( eg: early load foo_mod_for_card BAZ or even blacklist all the others etc )

( feel free to poke me on that if you don't know what I mean )


X startup is *should not* ask one about whatever but :

1) start away from comandline with defaults
2) this should be a boot option as well IMO


I noticed in dmesg sqashfs can't find some *lzma_init ( don't know how good or bad this is :s )

We should tell somewho  the fwlive user is using sudo by default ?!


@ janny maybe is a good idea to change the colors for our normal init scripts as well ( I know cosmetics but looks ugly now )

Other than that good work :)

I'll test some more soon.
