Guys,
This should really be reverted to sysinstall until the new installer
is at least in a state where it consistently works... the most
important part of a new users experience is the installer and the few
new installs I have done lately I've just installed 8.2 and upgraded
from there as the new installer is terribly buggy.
Hi,
I am highly against reverting. Old installer is not GPT aware and in
fact is unmaintained for a very long time.
True, there is that.
About ftp - its probably needs to be handled better, but most of the
user i think using cd/dvd image, so it is not an issue. And new
installer is written on shell, so i think its better to fix broken
parts then to revert it to outdated and unmaintained code.
True also perhaps, could be more user friendly though especially for
people just installing it - I have been using my own install scripts and
such since 5 but am giving the new installer a go at the moment...
P.S. i personally had no problems with a new installer, used it from DVD.
On a related note - does the new installer have any kind of config file
for unattended installs a la sysinstall?
