Hello  John,

I try yesterday image, and the boot speed is really fast, its great!

I flash the neo, change /etc/enlightment/default for illume!

And when i try to change config illume, desktops, fonts, theme, the qpe 
crash, and i cannot change it!
This is a detected bug?


Thanks for your work,
Samuel

> Note: only upgrade from a clean Om2008.9 image is tested.

> sed -i -e 's%Om2008.8%testing%' /etc/opkg/*.conf
> /etc/init.d/xserver-nodm stop
> screen -DR
> opkg update
> opkg -force-overwrite upgrade

> To get the fastest boot time you also need to remove the following

> opkg remove task-base-nfs task-base-smbfs task-base-bluetooth \
> task-base-usbgadget avahi-daemon avahi-autoipd blueprobe \
> usb-gadget-mode portmap exquisite exquisite-theme-freerunner \
> exquisite-themes
>
> Known problems about upgrade
>
> * Dropbear restart during opkg upgrade
>
> * some obsolete packages (like kernel modules) still left in system
>
> * will purge your incompatible e config, so you might need to set

> Known issues
> ------------

> * usb network won't work at first boot if you flash new image (#2096)

> * Illume sigsegv (#1767) - make sure you use asu theme if you use

> * must remove 'ro' in kernel boot parameter if you use sd boot.
