Sorry .. not gonna hack in grub files etc just to bootup a distro ...
I wait for some beta to test it. Look this one is not much different then the developer release

This is definitely not hacking in grub files.
You don't even need to access one of the grub files.
GParted will show what needs to be modified.

I got a 'Vatidation of memtest86 package failed.Please remaster your installation' message when doing a media check.
And that was as far as I could get with that one.

This is definitely also not I expect from a distro.
Just wait a little longer and release it when the install goes ok.
But ... that is my opinion

Remember, it's an Alpha version.

And if there is no other linux on the machine? Think this alpha is then not useable for the 'normal'
user. So try it on your own risk

First of all @richdb http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_release_life_cycle#Alpha
If no other linux on the machine then maybe some live linux on cd/dvd/usb?

Pardus-Anka Alpha debugging report (1).
Licence texts:
I guess this should be 'Licence text' .
Trying to display the licence results in an "Unhandled Exeption' error.

Bypass authorization attemps for this user:
After marking this one I have to supply the password when applying the updates.

Plymouth screen:
I don't get a Plymouth screen between Grub and the KDE splash screen.

System Settings:
I miss the Akonadi Configuration, Printer Configuration, Boot Manager,  Disk Manager, Digital Camera and Partition Manager items.

From Pardus-Anka's website:
"Pardus-Anka 2013 GNU/Linux Alpha is out!
Note: As of yet a bootable USB is not possible, only DVD. Only the 64-bit version of this test ISO has been prepared. LibreOffice, Plymouth and closed sources packages (graphics card!) are not available yet."

Plymouth is fixed and is available for testing in alpha binary repo.

known issue:
There is sometimes problem with setting proper anka root uuid in /etc/fstab and /etc/initramfs.conf.
It means you have to manual edit these files e.g. from other linux. Proper uuid for root partition you can find e.g. in /boot/grub2/grub.cfg file.

The issue occurs when you choose existing partition for install.
So after recreate file system on the partition uuid changes, but yali sometimes uses old uuid.

[richdb]

So if you create new partions the problem not exists, and the install works fine?

If you only use one partion without an other partition for example /home it also works (on the developer iso I did
that to fix the problem).
