Unfortunately, it still lacks a pcmcia.img file, which would allow
running on a laptop with only a pcmcia-scsi CD-ROM drive.

I've written Knopper a couple of times about this, but no response....

There's also a problem with OpenOffice Impress (the presentation
manager), which has carried over from version 2003-11-14.

In the OO/Impress/Insert/Object menu, both "sound" and "video" are
grayed out, making it impossible to insert wav files into a slide
show.

In PCLinuxOS LiveCD (last November's version), the same functions are
active.

It does appear to run better than the Nov. 14 version, which on my
system had the nasty habit of intermittently (maybe one time out of
three) shutting itself down immediately after loading KDE.


Knopper has promised version 3.4, with kernel 2.6, for the end of
March. I'm hoping he may be persuaded to provide a pcmcia.img file
and fix OpenOffice by then.
