Hi
I am Australian so speak English with lots of idioms.
FEEDBACK to beta live cd.
Overall
Most things work for first menu option.
Minor Issues
1) No option to choose keyboard layout at boot.
Some other live cds may offer this option.
2) Thunar is slow to load relative to other software loading.
Possible solution is install PcManFm or xfe.
Good to see terminal file manager MC is installed.
3) No option to choose local time at boot up. It seems to select UTC.
4) Boot up login manager appears to be gdm.
Suggest you move to "nodm"
4) On my system, Gnome Alsa mixer has speaker muted
Suggest you also install alsa-utils to offer terminal based alsamixer command.
5) No sounds in /usr/share/sounds
This is an observation only. I suspect it was done to keep iso download small.
6) Some Mime types not set.
To open various media files I had to set the right software.
But Gnome mplayer already installed so this could have been avoided.
a) Test of wav,mpg good.
Test of mp4 not good. Likely to be due to Debian restrictions on codecs.
b) Test of animated GIF works in Iceweasel
c) Unable to find a pdf reader such as epdfview
d) Unable to find powerpoint reader.
Likely to need pptview and wine which would be too big for download?
e) youtube not tested as I would install chromium-browser.
7) Synaptic fails to open from menu or from bottom shelf icon.
Possible solution.....change command to read
Code:
gksu /usr/bin/synaptic
These are my first observations and not meant to sound too critical.
good luck

I know that. Just making Sparky I had a different point of view than you. Your suggestions can be helpful.
Zgadzam się ze zdaniem aus9 i również uważam, że PCManFM byłby lepszym wyborem niż Thunar.
Thunar został zamieniony na PCManFM. Jest też sporo innych zmian, właśnie nad nimi pracuję :)
