Description David Kerkhof 2011-01-30 11:44:03 UTC

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:2.0b10) Gecko/20110121 Firefox/4.0b10

Wrote the downloaded live kde iso of 11.4 milestone 6 to pendrive, doesn't boot. Does boot from cd. Wrote it 3 different ways, with dd, dd_rescue and USB key writer, all failed with "couldn't find live image configuration file"
I had a look at the files in the iso and saw that config.isoclient contains: IMAGE=/dev/ram1;openSUSE-kde-11.4-livecd-kde.x86_64;2.8.0

but on the cd I see this file: openSUSE-kde-11.4-livecd-kde-read-only.x86_64-2.8.0

It looks like a typo, a ";" instead of a "-" in the line in config.isoclient

Reproducible: Always

I did, the page didn't exist, searched a bit more, didn't find any, so I reported. Sorry.
