I just tried to boot FD13LGCY in virtualbox and got (what is to me) the
weirdest error: https://imgur.com/a/EENC2Xf (screenshot)
As a user, I would expect something labelled "legacy" to behave the same
way previous versions behaved. Meaning, I would expect that image to
boot into an installer of some sort the way 1.2 did.
I ran through a quick test install on virtualbox 6/windows 10 host with
both of the live cds. 500mb virtual hard disks, 44mb of ram. Both
installs worked without much in the way of glitches.
I didn't try the live disk option in virtualbox.
Personally, I feel like it would cause less confusion to have the
"install" option on the menu above the "live cd" option -but perhaps
that's bikeshedding.
I tried installing on qemu and ran into the same problem that's already
been mentioned; it's unable to locate the installation files. Both cds
fail in the same point in the installer using Qemu, wether I use 44mb or
128mb.
Trying the live cd (cd2) I got the following error while booting:

The command line I used for qemu is:
qemu-system-i386 -m 128 -hda \fd13rc1.vdi -cdrom FD13LIVE.ISO -boot d
(fd13rc1.vdi had already been created using qemu-img)
I'm running both qemu and virtualbox on a windows 10 home edition computer.
Thank you!

Hi everyone,
We really do want to hear your opinions on which LiveCD we should keep.
They both have very specific advantages and disadvantages.
Just to pick a couple.
CD1 can run with 64MB of ram and can use GBs. It also uses very little space on
the CD.
CD2 is probably more compatible (CD1 doesn’t run under QEMU). It needs 128mb of
ram. More RAM is unused. It requires a good chunk of real estate on the CD
(50mb). But, it starts a little faster too.
Make sure you download them, try them out, and let us know your thoughts.
Because 1 of them will be discontinued with RC2.
