[Bug 191871] Re: Live CD won't install on Acer Aspire 3050-1922

[David Peacock]

I disagree, Nelson.

It works in 7.10.  It doesn't work in 8.04 onwards.  As a regression test,
that's a big fail.  Also, blatantly ignoring people and just marking bugs as
fixed when they aren't, is just plain rude.  Somewhere along the line, a bug
has been introduced.  It has been reported.  It has been ignored.  It's not
Acer's fault because my physical hardware hasn't changed.

Tell me to get new hardware.  Fine.
Tell me that my hardware is no longer supported.  Fine.
Whatever.

But don't simply ignore me and mark the bug as fixed, because it isn't.

I'm not impressed.
