I tested and it worked for me. Maybe was the xml bug fixed by anthm?
Please "make current" FS, or reinstall from scratch, and check
again... If the problem show up again, reopen the issue.

I would be glad to collaborate on this.

The livecd has been neglected until now, and Celliax too, because of
Skypiax ;-).
Starting monday I'll begin to port Celliax to FS.

Would be nice to have the livecd with both Celliax and Skypiax, on
both FS and *.

In the past I used Knoppix as a base for the livecds, maybe today we
can start from Ubuntu live cd? What do you think?

Sincerely,

Giovanni Maruzzelli
