The third openmamba pre-release is available with tag snapshot 20080224. The tests on the

previous releases let us face and solve some relevant installation problems and the

result is a more simple installation procedure for most users. Many thanks to all the

beta testers who made this possible!

Here are the most important changes of this release:

• added support for installation in systems with different combinations of IDE, SATA and

  SCSI disks

• boot menu (grub 2): fixed support for Windows Vista boot
• installation wizard: check on partitions improved and the whole process has been made simpler by adding more pages to the wizard
• many system bugfixes

Before the stable release is ready we plan to release a forth (and last) pre-release with

the following changes:

• kernel: update to version 2.6.24
• configuration dialog for language, country, keyboard and time when installation starts
• boot menu: support for Windows and other chainloaded system boot from secondary disks
• boot menu: support for automatic configuration of other Linux systems
