eComStation 2.2 Beta Demo CD English first impressions

<< < (10/12) > >>

My son kindly let me try the CD on his gaming computer, with an Intel Core i5 2500K and 3,3 GHz CPU, with 8 GB of RAM. Seemed to boot fine but unfortunately hanged on the screen where one shall confirm network cards. It didn't react on Enter. I tried with settings in the preboot menu where I disabled all network cards, but the result was the same. Maybe eCS lost contact with his USB keyboard in some way?

Roderick Klein:
That issue is fixed with the upcoming beta CD of the demo CD.  We did some SMALL fixes. But needs some more work.

Now testing on the last or second last internal beta of eCS 2.2 before it goes public :-)

Trying to interpret the latest message on http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/eComStation/message/87934 it seems like the eCS 2.2 beta now is delayed to Monday...April 2012 was  the first plan , then November and  December and latest estimate was this very week........ Does the beta have to be perfect before a release??

I wouldn't be surprised if the GA release which is planned to the second week in April is delayed to Warpstock 2013 the 24 of May.

There is a lot of messages on different websites but never an official statement on ecomstation.com . I think this is crazy, and a waste of resources both with regard to Mensys themselves and with regard to the interest of their costumers.

I tested the demo cd with 3 computers:
1, notebook Dell Latitude E4300. Starting up was smooth and the Intel network card was recognized. Touchpad didn't work.
2, notebook Dell Latitude E6420. AHCI driver was loaded automatically and worked fine with the cdrom. Intel network card wasn't recognized. Desktop was started up successfully. Touchpad doesn't work.
3, desktop pc with AMD 790gx chipset and AM2+ cpu. Starting up was smooth and reltek 8169 network card was recognized.

Other problems:
1, has to use usb mouse with notebook. The wheel roller didn't work on every mouse.
2, firefox loaded the Chinese web pages too slow, at least couple of minutes. During the loading the page the cdrom was non-stop reading, looks like the font file was continuously being launched into the memory.
3, the desktop looks plain and can't attract new comers.
