Field Note #5 @WinLinMac01 2008-10-30

I would like to test this as well. Trying to get a perfect setup on a Lenovo R61. =)

Field Note #7 @naquaada 2008-10-30

I'm downloading it from the bay, have 35% now. But the speed is very low and it always switches between available and unavailable.

Field Note #9 @Nick 2008-10-30

i think, there's non-bittorent source takes place..
there's no full-source seeders, but their max % number grows..
mine too
only 9 hours, and it will be done!

Field Note #10 @pαuℓzurrr. 2008-10-30

Is this only on torrents? or also usenet?
Anyway would like to test too

Field Note #12 @naquaada 2008-10-30

Field Note #13 @nfoav8or 2008-10-31

yeah... wow man... that was interesting. :

but seriously... looking at the packages that can be customized to... there is no AMD Patch so unless it has the new voodoo 9.5 kernel with the patcher built in, it won't work for AMD (unless of course it just isn't shown and yet still is there)

Field Note #14 @naquaada 2008-10-31

I hope you understood what it ment... n0w 1 hav3 67%.

Field Note #15 @nfoav8or 2008-10-31

yeah I got it

just remarking on your selected way of getting your point across

AND the fact that I haven't seen that way of typing since I was younger and typed out 55378008 on my calculator and flipped it upside down. haha. ok, I digress.

Field Note #16 @naquaada 2008-10-31

Hehe, that would be Boobless. I know this trick, we did that at school. There are a lot of world you can display with that method. I have 71,41% now.

Field Note #17 @R0GUE 2008-10-31

Hmm, if memory serves me correctly, XxX releases were always Intel only. Has anyone actually confirmed that this release is AMD compatible?

Field Note #18 @naquaada 2008-10-31

We have to download it first. I'm at 73.45% now. Zzzz...

Field Note #19 @nicholasblock 2008-10-31

Man this really sux im stuck at 77.4% and it only took a half hour to get there no im not getting anything

Field Note #20 @nfoav8or 2008-10-31

@ naquaada - getting closer now hmm? that boobless thing was like 15 years ago for me though. haha. yup, I was 10. ok... so now everyone knows how old I am.

When you look at the available data for the torrent is it all available?

Field Note #21 @WinLinMac01 2008-10-31

Hey, is this also uploaded in parts (.rar archives)?

Field Note #22 @nicholasblock 2008-11-01

@WinLinMac01 Yes there are seventeen of them word on the street is they are password protected and the password is test i'd love to tell ya more if i could ever finish downloading im at 84%

Field Note #23 @^fire^ 2008-11-02

same here... but in this case on my Acer Aspire One A150X

Field Note #24 @Nick 2008-11-02

the password is not TEST!
could you possibly tell me the right pass?

Field Note #25 @bhast2 2008-11-02

the password is not TEST
PM me if you would like it

Field Note #26 @crencom 2008-11-02

Has the AMD support been confirmed yet? If no amd support, is it as easy as PPF the amd patches onto the iso?

Field Note #27 @nfoav8or 2008-11-02

OK, seriously people, why are all of you putting your e-mail addresses down? If you want it, go get it from the known locations where it resides. Don't be lemmings and give out your e-mail address blindly. We've got the ability to PM for that.

This thread is meant to expound on the results of the TESTING of the release so lets try to use it for that.

Field Note #28 @Voyn1x 2008-11-02

To follow on from nfoav8or's post, I wish people would realise that by posting your email address publicly on the web is like giving spam bots an open invitation to your inbox

Field Note #29 @bhast2 2008-11-02

I can confirm there is no AMD support for this release but I think he is working on it as he has requested my mkext from leo4all
so guess we will see what happens

Field Note #30 @nfoav8or 2008-11-03

awesome news bhast. I thought it might not support AMD as the Patch wasn't placed in any of the shots. any idea when AMD support could be expected?

Field Note #34 @BlackCH 2008-11-19

This is my first post here! Just wanted to clear up things about AMD support. I will include the Voodoo kernel final version (I have to ask to the voodoo team for their OK) which doesnt need any extra patched binaries; so basically all systems will work with the same ISO. Otherwise I would have to do an AMD iso; with patched binaries, which I wont, mainly because I cannot test. Also probably I will update the whole ISO to 10.5.6…

Field Note #35 @maxritz 2008-11-19

i have an E8400 on a DP35DP with an 8600GT. will it work.. if it has the drivers i can test
