Hello all,

I have a new image file for you to try out. I think this is The One, so I really want the feedback of my Trusty Beta Testers. Please continue to use "time lzma" and post your results to give me an idea of extraction times.

image file: debian-m5-v3b.img.ext2.lzma
(there's also a rootfs for extracting into a partition, but I'd prefer you to try the image file)

CHANGELOG (from debian-m5-3a):

• apt-get problems should be solved. No more pesky errors and workarounds. pulseaudio won't break every time you install something. Squeeze is still disabled by default, but enabling squeeze won't wreak havok unless it tries to update the gconf packages.
• Evince installed. It is a lot slower than the built-in pdf reader, but sometimes you want a full-featured reader and you're willing to sacrifice some speed.
• The sticky keys hack is automatically enabled in LXDE. It can also be activated from the terminal by running "debbie stickykeys [kblocale]", so English speakers would run "debbie stickykeys us" and German speakers would run "debbie stickykeys de". If you need to tweak the LXDE one for a different locale (tell me if you do!) do "sudo leafpad /etc/xdg/lxsession/LXDE/autostart" and add your locale after the "setxkbmap" on the first line.

Suggestions for further enhancements for my final image for Maemo 5 are welcome. I want the final image to kick some @ss.

I'm starting work on my Easy Debian package now, with an updated xbindkeysrc (rebhana, could you send me your set of keys?) and new icons for close chroot, and Debian HW Keys. I also hope to make the installer more flexible, allowing the user to download one of several images depending on the contents of a small file downloaded from the server.

It also would be very cool to walk the user through a setup wizard after a successful image download, which synchs the chroot and sets up the locale.
