Strictly speaking, these are 8.2 issues as they occured when I was upgrading one of my boxes to 8.2, but they are also Cooker issues because they (probably, nay, likely) still exist in Cooker and should be addressed before the next release (8.3/9.0).
1. The installer considers 48MB of memory to be "low". As such, I used the "text" install mode as it suggested. The installer should not require more memory than a system can sufficiently run with. 2. Using the text mode installer with a "low" (48MB) of memory it did not ask for CD #2, leaving my system with a handful of packages not upgraded, and me unaware that it had done this until openssh-server would not start due to it being from the last release (not upgraded). 3. I opted for a higher security level during the upgrade and was then unable to log into the system as either a user or root because the new, higher level of security required passwords be less than a certain age whereas the old security level did not and did not force the users to change their passwords. The new security level thought they were too old and refused them, for users AND for root. The installer should probably reset the age on the passwords when a security level that requires passowrds to be changed after a certain amount of time is chosen. b. -- Brian J. Murrell
