*notes*: 64studio_2.1_i386_uk

I have installed 64studio_2.1_i386 mirrorservice.org image twice.

Install 1 has its own disk, with a ext3 data partition.
My ext3 data partition is auto configured.

Install 2 in a multi-partition environment with a fat32 data partition.
(multi-partition) grub finds other distros and configures menu.list.
/media/data/ (fat32) is read only, configure fstab to user.
 
I have spent some time with Ardour & rosegarden
First impressions = excellent release :-)

Great work as usual 64studio,

Thanks! :-)

dave.
