GhostBSD 3.5 feedback

As I'm not skilled enough to send a proper bug report, I'm using this thread to allow for feedback.

Having tried 3.5 amd64 Beta1 live pendrive, I am dropped to a terminal as X doesn't start. The problem appears to be a missing library,
/usr/local/libharfbuzz.so.0

Running 3.5 i386 Beta1 live pendrive, there seem to be a few little problems,
Can't start a root terminal from the menu.
Package Manager won't start from the menu.
Menu entry 'Printing' just flashes something to the screen, too fast to see what.
Wifi manager doesn't set up my network, I have to set up wifi in /etc/rc.conf manually.

Also, I think it is a little confusing to have 2 menu entries labelled 'Image Viewer', probably better to name them 1 & 2.

(I will try installing later on.)

Those Problem are all take in consideration since we use less of Gnome dependency. Gconf is not install and I probably omit to change the terminal in the .desktop.

Got around to an install attempt today, using the 32bit beta1 pendrive image.
Installed to my 64Gb SSD OK.
I used 'Custom' to create a 9000Mb slice. Then installed to that, went quite smoothly.
Nice work on the new installer. :)
(Also, a 'thumbs up' to whoever created the new look.)

Thanks for the Efforts with releasing this OS. The biggest issue or regret is that this OS for the last year now till present still does not work for my AMD/ATI hardware.
I have tried it since 2.5 with no luck.
I always get the fatal error message regarding the KMS kernel, etc.

This is the main thing keeping me and I am sure many others from trying out and potentially making this OS a main stay on our systems.

I wish there was some special work around or solution to get this going for AMD/ATI systems. At least to get to a working X (vesa)

I am looking forward to your ghostbsd 4.0 release. I see that the hope is support for ATI and AMD on that release after the launch of freebsd 10.0

Again thanks to you and the wife.
