(the install libtiff part)

For me, for now, things are not usable. Did a new install, ran into the following issues:
- most video addons marked as "broken" "dependencies not met" in superrepo (lack of youtube being a "blocking issue" for me, I just cannot explain to my three year old why he can't watch Fireman Sam on the TV anymore ).
- skin install (Ace skin) from superrepo is acting up as well (download completed but skin did not start, subsequent tries the download stuck at 0%)
- "corruption" of the graphics on the ssh xbian config reported earlier in the thread
- superrepo was not populated, needed to do "check update/force refresh" before anything showed up
- addon icons (will try the libtiff thing myself)

The good:
- oh my god, the speed of it all..
- playing videos was no problem
- accessing my mySQL db and NFS shares was no probs (changed advancedsettings.xml and sources.xml and it worked).

Question: will there be a way to "update" the Beta1 to the (I hope soon to follow) Beta1.1 that fixes the issues that were acknowledged (like the libtiff thing)?

Thanks for the hard work, and I still love the distro, though I must agree with his Curliness on one point: this feels more alpha than alpha 5 or 4 ever did. No worries on that, though it might have been the wrong call to make this beta 1 rather than alpha 7.
