- Workaround: Use Firefox
- The CPU is not throttled. The effect was seen at least on Intel Core 2 Duo.
- There is no workaround yet. Don't use the demo for too long ;) At least the power management is part of the packaging now.

- Git tag: spaceflight-1.0beta3
- Git stable branch: stable-spaceflight-1.0beta3
- Remaining Limitations:
- Sometimes, the Oracle DBXML library crashes Tomcat. This effect was only seen on AMD64.
- Workaround: /etc/init.d/tomcat6 restart; /etc/init.d/contractwizard-negoratings start
- Hm, it always seems to happen on i686 sometimes, but usually only in massive parallel negotiations. To be investigated.
- Investigation hint: This is most likely due to corrupted packages at the time of image creation on the build host (samba's old hard disk).
- MaaS Flotr graphs don't display correctly in Konqueror.
- Workaround: Use Firefox
- The CPU is not throttled. The effect was seen at least on Intel Core 2 Duo.
- There is no workaround yet. Don't use the demo for too long ;)
- Sometimes, the Oracle DBXML library crashes Tomcat. This effect was only seen on AMD64.
- Fixed Limitations:
- DVD starts too slow, thus KDM might not be fast enough to keep X server alive.
- Workaround: /etc/init.d/kdm restart or use the latest Git where the bug is already fixed (see also [1]).
- When using DVD for AMD64, some Contract Wizard directories are not writeable.
- Workaround: Use the i686 version or rebuild the image with the latest Git sources where the bug is already fixed.
- DVD starts too slow, thus KDM might not be fast enough to keep X server alive.
