yeah it does look as though i'm the only one to try it so far, but i've 
got about 10 or 11 people waiting for me to get it up and running before 
we commit it to their netbooks also, i had managed to get these guys to 
eventually install F10 xfce instead of windows and as a next step i 
wanted them to get involved in filing bugs etc, to bring them farther 
into the linux community but so far i can't get it to work.

i've downloaded it twice, both times the checksums were correct, but 
both times it always just stops when it should be bringing up plymouth. 
i have managed to get the standard i686 live iso to work but the xfce 
spin is definately a no go. i wonder who makes the spins? do they test 
them after composing them?

thanks for the offer of help but unfortunately torrent is the only way 
to get the xfce spins, but i think there had been about 20 copies 
downloaded when i stopped seeding, but none of those must frequent this 
list lol.

does anyone know where i can contact the guys who composed the spin and 
ask them to check it out?
