I've made important fixes to zyx-liveinstaller, the install-to-disk tool in soas02.iso.
* Tue Oct 13 2009 Douglas McClendon - dmc AT viros DOT org - 0.1.14-1 - bugfix: handle nondefault kernel cmdline args - debug: backend failure exception propogation tested and working - bugfix: catch exception for situation with no /dev/disk/by-id - bugfix: yes, there seems to have indeed been a bug with no-swap installs v0.1.12 is in soas02.iso. If you want to test immediately with soas02.iso, start terminal, become root, and type rpm -e zyx-liveinstaller rpm -Uvh \ http://filteredperception.org/downloads/zyx-liveinstaller/zyx-liveinstaller-0.1.14-1.i386.rpm Then as root or non-root, launch by typing 'zyx-liveinstaller' as usual. The prior removal is necessary due to I think subtle packaging spec file differences between me and what Sebastian uses for the Fedora repositories builds. During my qemu test with soas02.iso, I actually used gparted. It isn't obvious anywhere, but you can create your destination partition(s) as 'unformatted' as opposed to 'ext2' or whatever. The installer formats and flags the partitions correctly, so if gparted formats them, it won't hurt, but it takes time. And note that under qemu's small resolution, you are a click away in two places from seeing gparted's 'apply' button which on decent resolutions, is normally just visible. Bugs, feedback, patches, praise, and criticism encouraged as always...
