Brett and others,

On a hunch I checked the date on the amd64 desktop iso I downloaded on the 18th of October last night (this was supposed to be the final release). To my amazement, it is dated 15 October. This is what people are getting when they click the download link.

So I downloaded another copy dated 18 October. This version eliminates the black screen, bad usplash.conf problem in my hardware configuration (actually solves more problems outside of the scope of this bug).

Just thought I'd share this with the masses, instead of blindly clicking the download link, click on the link that let's you choose for yourself, and take care to observe the dates of the iso's.

Brett, if you are a dev, you might want to pass a note to whomever manages the iso distribution. You'll eliminate a bunch of bug reports by getting the correct iso version into the hands of the masses.

Best regards,

Harvey
