Perhaps your ISO or IMG corrupted during download from the net. You can try to download them again.

You can run BOARD before RDSAVE, switch to kernel messages and take a picture screen BOARD, after RDSAVE window frozen?
Are there any problems with run: KFAR, KFM, Eolite?

I loaded the .img again on March first -> same issue (see first post: the stable version of kolibrios is so far ok but there I had issue with saving the configuration of the keyboard and the internet access; its why I tried the test version.. but I have another issue)
Board after the windows froze; see http://imagebin.org/248968
-> I click on RDSave
-> when I click on "select" in RDSave, the messages after the "net_socket_free" appear (screen not frozen)
-> when I move the RDSave windows, further messages appear and it freeze
So far, no issues with KFAR, KFM, Eolite.
I will have a look again into the stable version and try to make running the internet setup (and accept the keyboard layout cannot be saved).
Any updated version of kolibrios making running my pc machine is welcome and I would be happy.

You can check out earlier nightly builds http://builds.kolibrios.org/eng/history/

ok. Thnaks. Any advice where I should start is welcome (stable version with updated keyboard setup persistence with RDSave)
I made again following step with a recent build: (steps written in tinypad)
http://imagebin.org/249115
http://imagebin.org/249114
http://imagebin.org/249113
http://imagebin.org/249112
I move the RDSave window and it freeze http://imagebin.org/249111
perhaps somebody can understand what is going on here.

As a very lousy option, I would suggest that you have a defective RAM. Usually Linux LiveCD have a memory test - memtest program. I recommend checking your RAM memory.

I see from the screenshots that RDSAVE crashes on latest build (or rather, OpenDialog which is part of RDSAVE, crashes).

1) What filesystems do you have and on which filesystem did you place kolibri.img?
2) After starting KFAR, can you press ALT+F1 and make a screenshot of it? (Show us the list of disks detected)
3) Try to enter each of the disks that is shown in KFAR, and see if the system gets stuck like with RDSAVE (or shows any error in BOARD like with RDSAVE)

with the latest available testing kolibriOS...
1. This is on a CF card, attached to an IDE adapter, FAT32
2. See http://imagebin.org/249220
3. it dont stuck at any drive (3 drives with partitions ext3, swap, ext4, FAT32). I can go around the directories without any issue.

The saving with RDSave dont freeze anymore the PC with the latest available kolibriOS. THANKS A LOT.
For the reason it goes into the internet, this is a major improvement for me.

The saving of the GERMAN keyboard setup dont work with RDSave: see http://imagebin.org/249222
Can somebody help?
It would help me and avoid I make the setup at each new start.
From the date of the kolibri.img, the file seems to be saved but the keyboard setup seems not to be part of it.
Or other question: is there any workaround for saving the German keyboard setup outside of RDSave?

You did press "save all" button, did you?

yes.
Perhaps someone can simulate this issue?
- start Kolibri (it start in default with englisch keyboard)
- change to GERMAN (and see it is activ.. because it should change from "QWERTY" to "QWERTZ")
- SAVE it (with RDSave)
- restart with the new created img

THATS IT. Thanks. I changed that file with TINYPAD then, saved everything with RDSave.
And it works. Now, I will have a look to the "nice to have" topics like sound etc.

For sound, I see you have Audio Ensoniq ES1371 [AudioPCI-97] - is that right?
If it is, we have a driver for Ensoniq audio but it probably doesn't work because it wasn't finished.
Our developer Asper is working on it.

Dear Asper, you lazy bones, can you please finish and complete your driver? a person from stuttgart, germany, would be happy ...!
