[Moderator's note:

"This is the first beta release of the eComStation 2.0. This product is available for download to all registered eComStation customers of Software Subscription Services.

This version of eComStation 2.0 is purely intended as a technology proof. Some new items have been implemented:

* SNAP/ENT the special licensed version of SNAP by Serenity is in there, we boot Snap directly from CD-Rom
* Bootable JFS, this version is able to install on bootable JFS volumes.
Installing onto a bootable JFS volume will show a dramatic performance increase!
* ACPI, This version installs and detects ACPI
If your system does not boot, check if ACPI is detected, you can disable ACPI support in page 2 of the preboot menu
* Updated snoopers
These will provide better hardware detection/activiation during boot
* Removed installation phase 3, this results in a reduced number of reboots during installation"

A readme documentation about this Beta is available at
http://ewiki.ecomstation.nl/ecomstation20 and you can give Serenity Systems feedback about the beta at http://www.ecomstation.com/support/beta1report/ ]
