Hi,
1. after installation, the /etc/group file contains xgrp, nogroup, ntools
and ctools groups with GIDs immediately following any users added using
user[]. Could someone let me know if this going to be fixed? If not, then
I'll stop reporting it...
2. Printer auto install is broken again. Message is:
warning: foomatic-configure failed at /usr/bin/perl-install/printer.pm line
960.
3. I am getting a lilo failed message when installing the lilo boot loader.
It seems to be because I have added 'restricted' => 1, to get the password
enforcement reduced. In 8.0 I found that the reason was because because the
'password' was not placed in the lilo.conf file but 'restricted' was until
after lilo was run. Confirmed tonight by looking in mnt/etc/lilo.conf.
If 'restricted' is not used, the installer runs lilo twice; once without the
password in the lilo.conf file, then after msec puts a comment and the
password in, it is run a second time.
If msec is going to put 'passward' into the file, then it should also put
'restricted' in too, if present in the auto_install.cfg file. Or even
better, don't run lilo twice, just once after msec does its thing.
Here is what I used:
'bootloader' => {
'methods' => { 'lilo' => 'lilo-text' },
'boot' => '/dev/hda',
'crushMbr' => 1,
'default' => 'my_lilo',
'install' => '/boot/boot.b',
'lba32' => 1,
'map' => '/boot/map',
'message' => 'this is daves boot message',
'password' => 'cherry',
'restricted' => 1,
'timeout' => 3,
'vga' => 'normal',
'entries' => [
{
'type' => 'image',
'kernel_or_dev' => '/boot/vmlinuz',
'label' => 'my_lilo',
'root' => '/dev/hda6',
'initrd' => '/boot/initrd.img',
'append' => 'quiet devfs=mount',
'read-write' => 0
}
],
},
Other than that, the bootloader stuff for lilo seems to be working fine.
4. Just noticed, 'superuser' {} has 'name' => undef. Does not seem to
affect installation or operation if it is set to undef or 'root'.
best regards
Dave
