Re: Pretty Nice Boot Screen - Missing something though

I back up my system to the SD card too, so I can and have easily yanked
the battery and restored my previous OS and progs with no issue, so I am
happy with tinkering safely.

I have tried booting 3 times each after hard resets.. still hangs after
attempting to mount the filesystem.

- I used a PPC software to format my SD card.. do you think it just
doesn't like the format? I used FAT.

And, asuming this get's fixed.. what SHOULD I see after this thing boots?
A shell, or a version of xorg?
