Can somebody write an overview on what is the current status in term of stability and what follows?

For instance the list of present issues?
The first post contains the current status and known issues. I update it from time to time as issues appear or are resolved, or new updates are published.

Thanks auouymous for the fsck/tune2fs code. It worked and my update is complete, however I am still struggling with editing the boot menu. I am using bootmenu (I select the partition on boot), however my inexperience/confusion has created another roadblock. I do not have a bootmenu.conf in mnt/initfs but I do have a bootmenu.sh. I tried editing the bootmenu.conf.n8x0.example and follow the steps here but it wouldn't let me save in the initfs_flasher folder. Am I going about this all wrong? Is there a simpler/better way to edit the bootmenu?

Oops, edit /mnt/initfs/bootmenu.sh and reboot.

It appears to me that you tried to save the bootmenu.conf in the /mnt/initfs folder. Instead, you need to download the complete fanoush flasher package and put it in your home directory. Did you see the links in my earlier post?

Are we talking about a similar boot menu as shown on these images 1 or 2?

Yes, that bootmenu. Once installed you can just edit /mnt/initfs/bootmenu.sh instead of reflashing.

You have to install it with dpkg, not App. Manager

Yes, that's the boot menu I use. So how do I edit it without reflashing? That's where I am having my trouble. What program or command should I use and how can I save/overwrite it?

The initfs partition is mounted read-only, you have to mount it rw to change anything:
"mount -o remount,rw /mnt/initfs" and when you are done "mount -o remount,ro /mnt/initfs"
