Distro won't run

[ThaDaVos]

Following the tutorial in this repo to install ClearLinux on Windows 11 - but sadly running into below error:

Checking the screenshot, the tutorial also ends with the same error shown on the first line - any idea how to remedy this?

I manually added the wsl.conf through Windows File Explorer - it seems it's read as when I add generateResolvConf = true - I see it being generated - but the other options, like automount and appendWindowsPath seem to be ignored for some reason - any solution?

[ThaDaVos]

Nvm... the old CRLF vs LF issue - but still fails to start

Hope you can help @gh0st-work

Found the issue - release 42170 is broken - even misses files internally - so I used one from 41760 which works

Latest release 42210 works on my machine following the instructions. I'll just delete releases 42150 and 42170.
