New features and changes[edit | edit source]
Setup[edit | edit source]
The text-mode part of setup has not gained many changes apart from a progress bar during the file copying stage. This build already restarts into the graphical setup after inserting the third disk. Many installation options were moved to the graphical part. After restarting, the user has the option to run a mouse tutorial, or to select which components are being installed. Then, file copy continues with a very large, OS/2-themed progress bar, until the system is configured and ready to restart.
Tools[edit | edit source]
This is the first build to come with the picture lock screen. The user is now able to lock the system by setting a password and a picture to be displayed during lock. The system can be unlocked then by directly entering the password followed by pressing the ↵ Enter key.
Bugs[edit | edit source]
When the system is ready to restart for the second time, it prompts to remove the floppy disk from drive A:, even if no disk is inserted.
