##################### Console UTF-8 Support ##################### since 0.9.5 you can display utf-8 charactors in the console by running $ fbcon with is a simple wrapper for fbterm & gpm. as of 0.9.5, inputting CJK charactors in the console is not supported yet. ############## Known Problems ############## 1) HAL now uses blkid instead of vol_id to detect volume labels. And our work around hack doesn't work anymore. Thus if you use localized characters in the label of a ntfs/vfat device, its name on your desktop may be something weird. And we've not found a fix to this yet. 2) The GUI installation wizard can only help you install CDlinux to a NTFS or VFAT formated device. This wizard is only a quick hack to help casual/general users, not for hard core gurus who format their USB disk as ext2/3/4, reiserfs, xfs, jfs, etc.. Sorry for the inconvenience, we'll fix this in future release. 3) If you are upgrading from an earlier version of CDlinux, the magic "Ctrl+ Alt+Backspace" key binding won't work anymore. If you still want this feature, please add the following line to the "ServerFlags" section of your xorg.conf: Option "DontZap" "false" or simply delete the old /etc/X11/xorg.conf file and let CDlinux regenerate it. 4) The new GUI mixer in CDlinux 0.9.5 may fail to control the volume on some CMedia-9739a based sound cards. For those cards, please use the CLI mixer "alsamixer" instead. ############# ISO emulation ############# This version supports boot directly from the ISO image via GRUB4DOS and other boot loaders. Recent versions of GRUB4DOS supports ISO emulation, here is a example menu.lst entry to boot the CDlinux ISO: #============================== begin ==============================# title GNU/CDlinux (ISO emulation) map --mem (hd0,0)/boot/CDlinux/CDlinux.iso (hd32) map --hook kernel (hd32)/boot/CDlinux/bzImage quiet CDL_IMG=CDlinux.iso initrd (hd32)/boot/CDlinux/initrd map --unhook boot #=============================== end ===============================# Or, if the former setting failed, add a line with "map --status" and try again: #============================== begin ==============================# title GNU/CDlinux (ISO emulation) map --mem (hd0,0)/boot/CDlinux/CDlinux.iso (hd32) map --hook map --status kernel (hd32)/boot/CDlinux/bzImage quiet CDL_IMG=CDlinux.iso initrd (hd32)/boot/CDlinux/initrd map --unhook boot #=============================== end ===============================# For other boot loaders, you many need to extract the "bzImage" file and the "initrd" file from the ISO first. Then boot them with the following parameters: CDL_DEV=xx CDL_DIR=yy CDL_IMG=zz For details, please refer to: http://cdlinux.info/wiki/doku.php/doc/faq/inst_wo_burn
