First roadblock, the instructions you gave to install to HDD from usb, they do not work for me.
Specifically here: http://crunchbanglinux.org/wiki/statler … stallation at the bottom of the page.

The install goes as such:
I select 'Text Install' option, it loads some stuff, then i get a menu of what to do. I select my language, then keyboard map, then it trys to read the CDROM. Says there is none, and throws me back to the menu. There is no where to tell it not to Load CDROM drivers, or any of the steps you mentioned sad. I also tried 'Text Expert' but that didn't have the option either.

try adding cdrom-detect/try-usb=true to the boot line when it starts up, I've had to do that for some debian based distros in the past.


It's looking really good Core, only issue I'm having is the display settings aren't detecting my second monitor. I can just use xrandr whenever I end up installing though. The recent discussions about ubuntu not being a democracy have finally nudged me over to switch to debian. Need to wait until my finals are over though just in case.

I really like the #! powered by debian wallpaper also.

I have a few cdrw's lying around so im going to try one of those, normally usb is just so much quicker though, and less error-prone. If the cd doesnt pan out, i'll give it a try. I just found it odd that corenomials instructions didn't apply at all. Its like the installer I was using was different or something, very strange.

Re: CrunchBang 10 "Statler" Alpha 1 Released

Oh good grief. New release and my adsl and phone lines are out... 

Such is life I guess 

Re: CrunchBang 10 "Statler" Alpha 1 Released

I've downloaded i686 Openbox and now I'm writting from Statler 10 LIVE. smile

Everything for now works quite OK, but I have problem with Pino. Won`t update my statuses ?!

Very nice default theme! Very clear and eye pleased. Fonts are nicer, cleaner.
Little surprised that I've found Orage rather than Osmo in Openbox edition, but little changes in apps aren`t big trouble.

Everything is more responsive.

Congratulations! This is a great work!

I say never be complete, I say stop being perfect, I say lets evolve, let the chips fall where they may.

It did not work for me. sad I tried again using the instructions I wrote on the wiki and it worked. I will do some more testing and try to come up with a better solution.

Re: CrunchBang 10 "Statler" Alpha 1 Released

Very nice work Philip.  I am writing from the live openbox i686 32 bit version. 

What are the differences between the openbox and xfce version. 

Congrats on Statler 10.  You have great start for only being Alpha1.

Kelean.

The problem is corenomial, its not that your instructions don't work, its that they aren't even applicable to the screens I see.
Perhaps you could take photos of the install process, or run it in VirtualBox, and take screencaps that way?

Unless i'm completely thick, there isn't the option to do what you suggest.

On related note, my cd worked, so I just used that to install #! 10.
Working nicely, except my wireless is slightly flaky (when it first tries to connect, i have to cancel that, then get it to try again for it to work), and my graphics aren't recognized (1680x1050 monitor running at 1100xsomething or other), but thats to be expected on my very-new hardware.

Re: CrunchBang 10 "Statler" Alpha 1 Released

So far so great, I ran the XFCE version and was not feeling it, which is strange considering I used to love XFCE, but then I installed the OpenBox version and was in love. Way snappier than the 9.04 release. So far I have it installed with no problems.

Thanks a lot Core

Hmm, strange. I am not entirely sure why this is happening. Can I ask, did you follow all the instructions, including the "dd" parts? Or did you copy the ISO to your USB using a different approach?

With previous releases, the torrents have normally been taken care of by the community. It would be good if this could happen again. smile

BTW - the file servers have just reached 120 downloads. Awesome! smile

Re: CrunchBang 10 "Statler" Alpha 1 Released

happily running installed xfce i686 on a 4core x64 machine..
everything works like super awsome evil great! ..im a happy camper indeed! big_smile
i expect to have issues /problems especially when installing nvidia-drivers etc, its alpha after all..
love the style and finesse of CB <3 <3  ..stylish guy like me feels so at home wink
philip - thx! youve done an awesome job! i could kiss you! lol

Re: CrunchBang 10 "Statler" Alpha 1 Released

Yup, as for server downloads, your Muppet engines are breathing fire. I'm currently pulling down xfce 686 @ between 1 and 1.5 MB/sec - SMOKING!!!

Previously I pulled down xfce x64 iso at a similar pace, so no snails here

Can't wait to trial these puppies out!
I'll be testing the alpha xfce x64 on usb stick and the 686 on a partition on a different lappie. Once I have some news of the breakage, I'll yelp. I'll keep a running notepad to note down the TONS of problem I'm sure to encounter wink

Peace all

Originally i used Unetbootin, but then I followed the entire page to the T, thinking the same as you.
I get a text installer that looks identical to the ubuntu minimal installer. If thats any help.

Ha! Brilliant! Announced on the same day as Ubuntu release beta 1 of Lucid! Coincidence?

Thanks Corenominal!

Will there be a minimal, script based install in the future?
