Comment 1 Thomas Backlund 2016-06-30 13:42:52 CEST 
Hm, I guess that's simply because draklive does not copy release-notes on iso so it cant show anything... but that should be an easy fix...

otoh the "black centre square" is probably becuause of the way we start xinit for finish-install... 

I noted the same when the "old" "gnome restart dm hack" triggered, so we need to figure out whats missing for proper display (likely the same issue as finish-install starts fullscreen)

The workaround for bug 17223 (rebuilding matchbox-window-manager with compositing disabled) fixes this one too.
