Kendall makes the calls!

This is not RC2 nor will there be a RC3. It's the real deal! Now all we have to look forward to is 1.1 and the subsequent releases...

someone needs to give distromania a talking too...

Release notes doesn't say so.

And I just caught that it calls the release RC2 in there as well.

I just changed it to say "Freespire 1.0 Release Notes." Change it back if needs be.

Then, if THIS one doesn't support dist-upgrade, this install is HISTORY. Kanotix can do it, Ubuntu can do it, Debian has been doing it for years, but THESE people can't get it right.

they can get it right but im sure we neecded to wait for stable trees for one before it got started. There are other areas that they needed to concentrate on before the "luxuries". And to answer your questions i tried to go from rc1 to 1.0 final and no go. Maybe they will have it working to go from 1.0 to a newer release later.

Welp, that did it. Nuked the blasted thing, and going back to Debian. At least dist-upgrade WORKS there.

Don't abandon us berfelferd!!! No you can go if you really want to. It's all about choice.

I want dist-upgrade just as much as the next person. Though what would be best is to have the option in CNR. Or dare I say... Synaptic.

You were given an early release to assist in seeding BT before the release today (Tuesday 08 August 2006). Thank you for all the testing and continued bug reporting (some good catches here).

Is the desktop still based on KDE 3.3.2? I was hoping that it would been bumped up to at least KDE 3.5. It's awesome that it's out early but I'm a little disappointed with the desktop.

Per the RoadMap 1.0 is the open source version of the latest commercial offering; however, 1.1 will be more in-line w/latest...

What was the purpose for releasing this version without CNR working???
Seems like one of those two steps back thingies ........

After a couple of boots, Kmix doesn't automatically close itself???

When you junp thru the hoops to try to get the login manager to autoboot to the desktop as root ........... It just don't work ......... no tickee ... no laundry

If you read the CNR bugs section of the forum, you would see that it appears to be a server-side issue, and NOT a Freespire issue.

The session manager is kinda set to paranoid ........... it's set to erase everything (well a lot anyway) and also to start a fresh session. Is that really what you want as default??? Don't seem right to me?????????
I would want the session saved and most of that stuff not erased.

When typing in this reply thingy, sometimes when you hit the spacebar thingy there is a lag before it shows the space?????

Before I burned it to the ground, I did an apt-get dist-upgrade and got xmms, aol dialer and something about isp-scripts as upgrades. According to the Release Notes, lotsa changes to Firefox/Thunderbird, the KDE theme and other items. What I got was NOT a dist-upgrade response, so NO, it does NOT work.
