At the beginning of the flight they specifically told people to push buttons very deliberately and slowly if they wanted it to work. I kinda wonder if it's been improved yet or not... ---Joel

From the limited information in the picture, I'd guess that everything (including the boot image) is on a file server, and the server's either down or unreachable. Having this kind of "appliance" log boot errors to the screen is pretty lame, though, as is not simply aborting when the initrd can't be mounted.

It is merely a compressed and/or encrypted volume. Like you said, a file. cloop is a nice utility. Knoppix used it. Don't know if they still do. They switched a couple releases ago, but I cannot remember from what to what. |
