Dont upgrade, legacy bugs may be left behind. do a fresh install if you want a true RC experience

As I said in that other thread I'm too lazy to go get the link for, RC1 is running on the home's 3 machines.

Nice and smooth everywhere, except my mom's computer doesn't get glass cause (on-board ATI graphics dating from around 2005, 2.9 Windows performance rating lol).

LOL u can...... :giggle:

Bypass the check for pre-release upgrade IF YOU REALLY REALLY WANT TO:

1. Edit the ISO image.
2. Browse to the sources directory.
3. Open the file cversion.ini in a text editor, like Notepad.
4. Modify the MinClient build number to a value lower than the down-level build, for example, change 7100 to 7000.
5. Save.

HIGHLY UNRECOMMENDED!!

Well thanks for the offer, but my mom doesn't care one bit about Aero glass (I doubt she would even notice the change). Plus, everytime I tried to plug a graphics card in that motherboard, I would get random lock-ups (an issue some may remember talking about back at the other site) and I found nothing to solve the problem. And even if it did work, my mom had been running an old Athlon Thunderbird 900Mhz until the CPU stopped and (I presume) fried the CPU last summer, so she will be fine or a while with those on-boards, a 3500+and 1GB RAM. :giggle:
