I am unable to use the Live Dyne III. After displaying several screens full of scrolling information the screen becomes garbled and hangs. Mine is an AMD 64 Processor. Please help somebody.

Nice, I had success with a persistent home partition stored on a
virtual disk (I am currently only experimenting with VirtualBox).

Here are the steps I did:
1) Create a EXT3 partition with the label "home-rw"
2) Mount the partition "home-rw"
3) rsync all stuff from /home to the mounted partition (something like
sudo rsync -arv /home/ /media/home-rw/
4) Reboot dyne:bolic and add "persistent" to the grub entry (you can
edit grub entries by pressing TAB)

After this you have a persitent home directory. Now I can easily set
my default keyboard layout to german and the setting is remembered
after reboot :)

It might be nice if dyne:bolic has the persistent parameter enabled
per default. At least I can not imagine that this causes a problem.
