Description Máirín Duffy 2011-09-14 16:40:43 UTC

Description of problem:

On my F16 Beta TC 2 live USB stick, there's some typos syslinux.cfg file. One of the symptoms is that the boot splash image is not loading:

TYPO #1:
=======

The file refers to 'splash.jpg' but it should be 'splash.png' 

Hopefully fixing this will help with bug 738020. 

TYPO #2:
========

Another typo I found / under Run a memory test in the cfg file:

"If your system is having issues, an problem with"

should be

"If your system is having issues, a problem with"

TYPO #3:
========

Under 'Start Fedora 16 in basic graphics mode' it says,

"Try this option out if you're having trouble starting."

It should say

"Try this option out if you're having trouble installing Fedora." (via @PRODUCT@ variable if possible.)

"Under 'Start Fedora 16 in basic graphics mode' it says,

"Try this option out if you're having trouble starting."

It should say

"Try this option out if you're having trouble installing Fedora." (via
@PRODUCT@ variable if possible.)"

I'm not sure this is right. Remember, this is a *live* image. The most common case where you need the 'basic graphics' option is where there's a bug in your native driver which prevents X working properly at all - and hence prevents the live environment working. It'd be unusual for there to be a graphics bug which allowed you to boot the live environment but not run the live installer, or to boot the live environment and run the live installer but not boot the installed system.
