Installer Bug and Workaround for Beta 6
In SimplyMEPIS 6.5 Beta 6, ntfs-3g is automounting partitions, so the installer fails because the partitions are mounted. The workaround until we release Beta 7 is to unmount any mounted partitions before running the installer.
Updated SimplyMEPIS-32 Beta Available
We are releasing the updated Beta 5.1 for SimplyMEPIS-32. The original Beta 5 ISO had a couple of mistakes - Sun Java 6 was accidentally left out and the wrong version of the Fuse driver was included.

Request for Comments: LiteMEPIS 6.0 Kernel
Support will be a lot easier if we have only one kernel for Lite, and if it's a kernel we are already supporting.
The obvious choice therefore would be 2.6.15 from SimplyMEPIS.
Does anyone see a major problem with this choice? Any suggestions?
SimplyMEPIS 6.0 Extras CDs Released
We've uploaded the SimplyMEPIS 6.0 Extras CDs to the MEPIS pool and the public mirrors. They can be found in the mepis released directory. These 3 CDs are provided only as a convenience for users who can't rely on having a continuous fast Internet connection. The same packages are also available from the on-line pools.
PROBLEM: Using RC1 to Install on Entire Disk
A problem has been found in the installer that prevents a reboot if you select to "Auto-install using entire disk." The fstab file contains an invalid entry. We will get out an RC2 in the next few days to correct this problem. Meanwhile, there are two workarounds:
Preserving your home directory? READ THIS!
In SimplyMEPIS 6.0 RC 1, we have improved the way MEPIS handles pluggable devices, such as USB keys and CD drives. The changes will not take effect properly if the home directory has been preserved, so if you preserve your home directory, you will need to do some tweaking to restore the KDE defaults. This applies whether you upgrade from the pools or perform a fresh install. The RC 1 ISO and the updated MEPIS pools should be available Thursday, 6/15/06.
The FTP Client is...
Since most of you said gFTP is your FTP client of choice, it will be back in Beta 3. Thanks to everyone who gave feedback.
A Note to MEPIS Testers
Thanks to everyone in the community who has given feedback and submitted bug reports! Keep in mind that if you are testing for MEPIS, it is best if you do not update from the pools. We have no way of knowing whether a problem you report exists in the OS or if it is a result of an update from the pools.
Fix for Intel 915 Sound Problem
I've found a solution to a problem with audio on the Intel 915 boards. I don't know if this is the only problem.
The mixer for hda-intel is very odd. The master volume has no affect. This means that unmuting the usual volume control and turning it up does nothing.
iPOD Compatibility Has Changed
Hfsplus write support has always been iffy in Linux. In kernel 2.6.15 the write support for hfsplus filesystem has been disabled by the kernel team. As a result, it is no longer possible to upload songs to a Mac iPOD with MEPIS.
