<DIV><FONT face="Lucida Sans Unicode" size=2>I did a boot-only upgrade to RC1
from an up-to-date beta. That seemed to go perfectly -
except.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face="Lucida Sans Unicode" size=2>The first reboot got tangled up on
the garden-variety VGA display - and X just got lost. With each reboot
things got a little better and after four or five it seems to be working, kicker
and all. This was very similar to my starting beta
experience.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face="Lucida Sans Unicode" size=2>An hour later, after a meal, I
went to look at some video clips on nytimes.com after pbi'ing FF
3.0.7. No dice. I pbi'd VLC and the first time it too failed.
After a few tries VLC worked and gradually FF and nytimes video clips came
to life.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face="Lucida Sans Unicode" size=2>My take is that there are some time
dependencies here - and they take a few hours and a few
reboots to resolve themselves.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face="Lucida Sans Unicode" size=2>This does not greatly affect
me - ignoring some irritation. But it would be a kiss of death for
the innocent PC'er who wants to skip out of a Windows
situation.</FONT> <FONT face="Lucida Sans Unicode" size=2> This needs
fixing.</FONT></DIV>
