Hi. When I install kernel-sources (the installation goes smoothly, by the way) and does a remaster (goes smoothly, too) and then burn the remaster. When I'm booting, I get sent to "Busybox built in shell", ash. Any idea what the problem might be?
I'm using Toronto and the "right" version of kernel-sources. All my previous remasters work perfectly. I'm installing kernel-sources to be able to get the NVIDIA-driver, to get 3D-effects (with Beryl).
By the way, when will the next version be released? It's called "pilota".

Have you updated initscripts before the remaster?

How do I do that?
I don't know that much LINUX, I'm new to it.

It depends, Did you remaster after installing MCN to harddisk, or on the fly?

I usually do it on the run (livecd mode) but I have a harddisk install too.
Which one do you recommend?

Well, a live remaster is usually good enough fo minor image changes.
But for major changes (new kernel, initscripts, major packages...) a HD installation is always preferrable.
If you have some harddisk space available, but don't want to disrupt your current OS'es, a convenient solution is installing MDE under VMWare or VirtualBox. The virtual OS is as good as a real one (for 99.5% of the tasks one would wish, anyway).

Done. Harddisk installation under Virtualbox.
How do I update the initscripts under a harddisk install?

The usual way you upgrade your system: setting up urpmi repos (via easyurpmi), and either "urpmi --auto-select" (if using urpmi), or "sudo smart update && sudo smart upgrade" if using Smart Package Manager.
MCN should still be set against the 2007.1 repos- unless I'm missing something.

Solved. Apparently a HDInstall and a urpmi.update -a whas all that was required. All done in Virtualbox.
