maybe could you try in qemu? if it works for you there (it does here)
then we know that it's really some hardware problem (the theme is made
by ironiq, you should poke him)

adding quiet is up to janny :) vga should be added by gfxmenu

it seems to be ok here, for example the "restoring previous settings
from a config file" prints "überfoo" instead of "skipping" which must be
something German :)

using lsmod, can you check if there are some unnecessary loaded or
missing modules? sound seems to be ok on my machine

by default eth0 tries to use dhcp, i think you mean this could be
changed so that for example eth1 could try to request dhcp, right?

blacklisting modules is also a good idea, i don't know what plans janny
has :) blacklist=foo,bar could be a solution then we could parse that
parameter in rc.hotplug before loading any module :)

maybe i misunderstand you but it does not ask currently either

this is what the current situation

> 2) this should be a boot option as well IMO

you mean starting x by default?

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

i think you mean here that 'the fwlive user has sudo', it does not use
sudo for everything i'm sure :)

(i haven't modified TODO yet, but after some discussion i think these
missing features could be go there)

thanks,
