Greetings, Just thought I'd share my recent experience with the new installer (b70).
Personally, I never had any problems using the old one, but the new one does look much better. Things that I thought were great: * Relatively few questions asked * Sane slice size defaults for whole disk option (In my case, 232GiB partition was split into four slices, 15GiB for root, 15GiB for second_root, 3.1GiB for swap, 198GiB for /export/home for a system with 2GiB of memory) * Automatic creation of second root for LU * Overall Look and Feel * "Felt" snappier than the old installer * After first boot, I installed the skge driver for my onboard gigabit ethernet, and nwam picked up everything via dhcp on the next reboot Things I suspect are known issues: * Help is not yet complete (such as going to the help menu in the debug terminal) * Warnings in debug terminal window from the window manager about the terminal setting min size of 1 for window, but also setting not resizeable * System has unqualified hostname warnings on first boot (is this related to the installer not having sane initial defaults?) Suggestions: * Display the log in a monospaced font when the user clicks the 'show log' (don't remember what it is labeled exactly) button at the end of installation Questions: * Is there a way to run the detection tool from the installer via a simple button? (I may be an idiot and have just overlooked this) Great work! Thanks, -Shawn -- This message posted from opensolaris.org
