No problem. If Ultimatix works as good as everybody is touting, then I would think that should be the higher priority. After all, it's a very big part of Ultimate Edition. Not sure what you consider finished, I'm not exactly sure what the scope of the project entails.

While I'm sure we wouldn't mind you buying us a coffee or beer, it just doesn't seem practical. You see, money isn't really the factor here, time is.TheeMahn wrote:I don't have time
In fact I read something not too long ago about somebody that contributed several hundred dollars to an open source project just to find out that the money is lying dormant and most likely wont be used. There were other reasons involved but time was a big one. Sure, I suppose we could buy ourselves faster computers so the code will compile faster(lol) but that isn't actually producing anything towards the project goals, not to mention I know TheeMahn and I are rocking some pretty decent boxes that are quite capable as it is. I will be building a new box pretty soon only because I sold this one to my bro. That will take time away from any work on any coding(usplash-maker or reconstructor). Heck, right now I'm even working with the LiveUSB dev Simon Peter(gave him a bugfix so that DVD iso's could be mounted and used, Ultimate1.9 was my test iso) and I don't even consider myself a dev for that project.
Okay as far as getting it to work:
I personally think that posting workarounds for the current code would be a waste of time. The code should 'just work', and in it's current state it just doesn't work for alot of people. Some of the code I have done now could be meshed with the current script for a better fix, maybe I'll see if I can fix it up this weekend just for something to get by until the full version is finished.
I will not BS you, I dropped Ultimate Edition theme pack this eve, I have recently moved and had nothing better to do with my time as I had no internet. I revised and dropped Ultamatix -4 to the main site (reason it was down bandwidth exceeded), most people are oblivious to what I am about to say err type, I get pounded traffic wise 1 million hits in a day one site, I have 8, it does bother me that I do not have the time to address everyones situation, but I do try to make one issue melt away at a time, please remember I am but 1 man. I see this as an issue that can't be resolved @ least via google standards (what does not exist), did you know I also do the same for others that don't know how the debian system works? Exclusive hosting of files that "just do not exist?" Many I have packaged for them, maintainer if you will.
Wait until you see 2.0 of Ultimate Edition, you will (means you will in english) understand, autorun at it's finest, be it windows or otherwise.
