We make so many mistakes that we have gotten good at fixing them quickly. :-)

I can't find the md5sum for RC2.

The md5sum of MX-14-RC2.iso is:

Code: Select all

2c3eba4e17b6951753fc74409b5719b2

It was posted on the download site in the file MX-14-RC2.iso.md5. If you download via bittorrent then there is no need to check the md5 because bittorrent does it for you. It has to check md5 sums (or the equivalent) of every block in order to prevent malicious people from poisoning the torrent with bogus data.

RC2 boots straight to the desktop without cheatcodes!

Haven't done an install yet, so don't know about the login screen (resolved I see in the biug overview), but that is no biggie anyways.

GREAT WORK guys!

Posting from RC2/Qupzilla, Zero issues, wrote the iso to a usb stick with dd,

Great job everyone, Thank you for all the hard work, ya done made a good 'un!! MX is really smoothing out well.

Thanks, fixed. It was late and things were moving fast, my only excuse...
