Fesity unstable? (Re: DUAL BOOT -- 6.10/7.04 Herd 4?)

[Maurice Murphy]

Peter,

Can you run Skype with your 7.04?  When I tried it under Herd 2, I got 
some nasty rejection messages.  How about audio/video codecs?  (I note 
that Automatix2 is not yet available for 7.04).

Further to my dual boot question, the thought crossed my simple mind 
that the reason I didn't get a "dual boot grub menu" after carefully 
installing 7.04 in a separate partition may have been that both 6.10 and 
7.04 use the same menu.lst item?  I'm sure someone will tell me if I'm 
totally wet behind the ears with this analysis!

I have run Herd 4 as a live disk and things look very promising 
including the neat Control Panel.

Cheers,

Maurice
