The screen doesn't recognise them and shows a series of ^[ style sequences instead. *    The timeout countdown of the boot loader has reverted to very slow. The loader did this earlier in the year on -CURRENT but had obviously been fixed for a few months now. Maybe some change needs to be adapted from the old to the new loader. *    The root user on the image doesn't have a .login file. I realise these are all cosmetic issues in the overall scheme of things but if anyone is working on a bit of spit-and-polish for the new release they might want to have a look at a few of these. Otherwise I'm happy to say that I haven't found any significant problems yet. I'll keep looking though. Keep up the good work, Brian
