Thanks to everyone for testing the beta images!
In this last last week window I've rolled in many of your changes.
So please continue to use the bug tracker:
http://bugs.elinux.org/projects/debian-image-releasesI haven't been able to get the elinux bug tracker to let me post
anything, so forgive me for posting a few comments here. These are from
the 3/19 image, so I apologize if any have been addressed, and they
mostly fall under "personal preference" rather than actual bugs.* I like to add console=tty0 so startup kernel messages go to both the
serial console and to the HDMI screen, if connected. While less
information is displayed with systemd than previously, if the kernel
hangs for some reason at boot this could avoid the need for a serial
cable which a lot of people won't have.I think i'm going to enable this too..
* Given the target audience, I would add a terminal short-cut on the
application launch bar next to the web browser. It's not hard to get to
on the menu, but that's one of the first changes I made to the 3/19 image.Sounds like a nice addon, do you have an example i can pull in?
* I'm not sure who made the black desktop background, but I find it
horrid (just the black part...the beagle is cute!) and would much rather
see something lighter. I'm not aware of any other GUI environment that
ships with a black background as default, and out of all the
professional programmers I know, only one uses this sort of color scheme.I stole it from the Angstrom image. We just got to be careful, as it's
only 16bit, so some colors combos look odd.
If we need a new source image, you can go to
BeagleMediaCenter - BeagleBoard and check out the images there.
The high-res logo is

Personally, I wouldn't mind if someone took the vector image of
http://beagleboard.org/static/uploads/BorisTux_w_Logo.png and combined
it with the Debian logo in some way to make a nice scalable backdrop
that looks like Debian. I also think the black background looks nice.
