[Trisquel-devel] New Trisquel 8 development images

[Pablo Correa Gómez]

Thank you both Luis and Lee for your answers.

I have just checked and looks like Fedora mounts from the graphical
interface, but does read only, so the problem has to be with my
Windows. 
Anyway, I should have checked that before, because it doesn't look like
a problem that Trisquel should/could address. 

Regards,
Pablo.
