Is this available for public alpha testing?

Hi ovacikar
Until Paul_123 announces it's ready, i would say no.

It boots fine for my headless use purposes. Observed 2 minor issues:

1- ssh no longer generates dsa keys, but they are in /opt/.filetool.lst , causing warnings

2- the module config file for rtl8192cu passes parameters for the legacy 8192cu

Code: [Select]

[   33.002796] rtl8192cu: unknown parameter 'rtw_power_mgnt' ignored
[   33.002854] rtl8192cu: unknown parameter 'rtw_enusbss' ignored

# Modprobe config file for 8192cu driver
options rtl8192cu rtw_power_mgnt=0 rtw_enusbss=0

Hi ovacikar
There is nothing to stop you from running that unreleased version.
But posting issues you are having with it currently is not appropriate.

Until Paul_123 makes an announcement that it's ready for alpha
testing, you should not be posting about it.

I’m already aware of the issues.  I posted images, but then have some personal things to deal with.

For OpenSSH, there is already an updated extension on the repo to remove the startup check that regenerates keys, then just remove the dsa keys from your filetool.lst

It might be until next weekend before I can post a detailed announcement thread.
