Hi Mark, thanks for the very quick response!
2006/10/17, Mark <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
A very quick initial report from my test. Running the 2.92 test in a VM, using the settings I described in the how-to I wrote a few weeks ago. Basically, 368mb ram and virtual IDE disk. On the agree/disagree section, I would change the wording to "I agree..." rather than "I do agree..." The "I do not agree..." is fine by the way - just that in English, I agree is more usual than I do agree ;)
You're very welcome to give me feedback on getting proper English into the installer.
OK, so the basic setup seems to proceed OK - usual errors about powernow, which I don't worry too much about, although I can list them if you like Tobias!
List everything you find. Because when I idle I start checking out buglist and start working things out. So even if some bug is not fixed straight away it will get my attention.
Eventually, I get to the command line and run the script to start the installer - which begins the CLI install. So far so good. But.... it then fails to detect the virtual hdd :( Attempting to use setup afterwards from the command line tells me "installcd is not properly running" . Not sure exactly what the issue is as yet! BTW, that phrase is not good English - maybe changing the words properly running around to read running properly would be better, although the whole phrase is not very clear. Does it mean the CD (virtual in my case) has an issue, or the drive is not working or ....? Will report further once I have fiddled a little more! Should the cd actually be installable at the moment? Perhaps the failure to detect the hdd is purely down to the detection not being enabled in the test iso?
Over the weekend I repeatedly went over the installer to make it work within the new structure. Which allows me to rebuild ISO's within minutes. The installer did work very well for me. It is also very unlikely that the installer does crash anything or does harm any existing data. (No guarantee though) . So actually I am in the need of some new impressions / ideas / feedback to improve the installer. What I had in mind to keep the pre-copy / pre-reboot sections as thin and slim as possible to reboot ASAP into the graphical mode and proceed with installation there. Well, feel free to make suggestions. regards -- Tobias Gerschner Member of Board of Yoper Linux Ltd. NZ Knowing is not enough; we must apply.
