In APPS Select Mirror popups 'Must load morrors.tcz extension or have /opt/localmirrors in order...' however it works after Select fastest mirror. Please update popup message.

? The mirror picker installs mirrors.tcz, so the message is correct?

Tecnically yes, from user's view not. There are no any info displayed about mirrors.tcz fetch/install, it is just working :)

Also, based on message user is going to install mirrors.tcz which is not needed, see above. All together message is not useful or misleading for ordinary user.

hi friends,

i use microcore with Xvesa and fluxbox.
i was very happy with the v4.7rc3-cut, everything worked fine for me.

now i downloaded these v4.7rc4-files and changed just these four needed files from the release candidate section:
core.tgz, vmlinuz, Xprogs.tcz & wbar.tcz, all with its dep-files and md5sums.
i checked all md5sums, so these files are not corrupted.

nothing else of my proved configuration is changed, but when i reboot it with  rc4 i get the message:
bash: startx not found
and no Xvesa-environment is started.

the manual command startx also doesn't work,
and i don't see any reason why my X-window-system doesn't start anymore.
do i need a new or changed onboot.lst after migrating from rc3 to rc4?

what more information do you need or do you have experienced something similar?
after changing these four files back to rc3 everything works fine again,
so it has something to do with rc4.

thanks for your help.
