-redhat 7.3:
-- do not halt the box when "halt" is used
-- no sysreq
-- kdm has gnome entry whereas gnome is not installed
- => choosing gnome gives a flashing black screen and kdm reruns
-
-- repartition of packages on various CDs is crap
-
-- bootloader: handling of multiple disks is more powerful in redhat, but more
-dangerous (proposed to everyone, but not proposed especially to people having
-a dangerous combinaison)
-- why still asking about lba32!!
-
-* anaconda 7.3 vs 7.3.92
- - skipddc option (locks some machines) ??
- maybe because it's done at the beginning of their install?
-
- - LVM
- - lvm_dialog_gui.py
- - Physical Extent 1MB 2MB 4MB ... 16GB
- (vgcreate -s ${PhysicalExtentSize}k)
- - see lvm_sanity_checks.txt, take them
- - lvm on / (mkinitrd)
- - handle upgrade when lvm on /
- - vgcreate -An (ie --autobackup no) ??
- (also for lvcreate vgchange lvremove
- - see clampPVSize in lvm.py
-
- - RAID
- - Number of spares ??
- - mkraid --dangerous-no-resync ??
-
- - progress bar in ext2 formatting
-
- - ctrl-alt-suppr during install => reboots
-
- - user names: the regexp is [a-zA-Z][^\0-\x20:,\n]* or [A-Za-z][A-Za-z0-9]{0,7} (depending on wether you're in text mode or graphic mode :)
- - check the user name created is not a system one (see systemUsers)
-
- - SMB authentification
- - cloneDrive ?
-
- - edd dropped (was to detect lba32 capability, which was dumb)
-
- - reconfig type of installed removed (was something between install & upgrade)
-
- - ddcprobe code removed -> moved to kudzu
- changes: sigprocmask and movl added around lrmi_vm86
-
- - $ENV{GDK_USE_XFT} = 0
-
-* kudzu 0.99.52 vs 0.99.55
- - blacklisting modules.pcimap e100 and bcm5700
-
-* hwdata 0.14 vs 0.32
- - dropped XFree86 3.3.6 support
-
- - upgradelist: list of (old_module => new_module) for upgrades
- (a simpler way would be to drop entries in modules.conf that concern
- obsolete (and not available anymore) modules, relying on auto-detection to
- add the new one)
-
- - CardMonitorCombos (for laptops)
-
-redhat 8.0:
-
- (legend: + pros - cons / notice)
-
- Install steps difference
- + firewall wizard
- + md5sum check when booting install
- - no upgrade packages installation during install
- - no services configuration (chkconfig)
- - no printer configuration
- - no autologin
- - no real small installation
- - no small packages (groff-for-man, perl-base...)
- / still propose non-MD5 or non-shadow passwords
- / post install tool (firstconfig)
-
- General install behaviour, eye-candiness
- + package selection a la Windows
- + in language selection languages displayed in native language
- + candy timezone selection
- + help uses bold/italic/big-font
- - no one CD install
- / not using fb at install
- / python + gtk2 vs perl + gtk
- / ask many things before doing anything (esp. delayed partitioning, swap not available when selecting packages!(?))
- - more width-hard-coded dialog boxes (harder for translations)
- / use a loopback file from the CD then copied on system
-
- Partitioning
- - no diskdruid after install
- - no partitioning wizard
- - no devfs
- - no xfs (but now has reiserfs/jfs)
- - no loopback crypted fs
- - no file swap (?)
- - no supermount
- + LABELed entries in fstab
- + progress bar while formatting
-
- Bootloader
- + bootloader configuration less awkward
- - no automatic handling of bios ordering with many harddrives
- - propose to manually change bios ordering even with one harddrive
- - LBA32 checkbox
- / defaults to grub
-
- Network
- - awkward question apropos hostname when using DHCP
- - no default choice for netmask/gateway/DNS based on IP
-
- XFree
- - no wacom configuration
- - no graphic card multi-head configuration
- - no ATI tvout configuration
- - no prompt for logout after changing X config
- - VideoRam prompted for everybody
- / no XFree3
- / no Utah GLX
- / load module "fbdevhw" "record", but not "v4l"
- / always load module "glx" and "dri"
-
- Keyboard
- - many non useful keyboard entries (eg: latin0)
- - no way to choose the toggle key to choose between latin/non-latin keyboard
- - no loadkeys done during install for console
-
- Mouse
- - no way to test mouse choice
- - mouse choices include many non-useful choices, badly sorted
- (Intellimouse must be sought in Microsoft whereas it's used by many others)
-
- Multimedia
- - no bttv configuration (including webcams)
- - missing audio modules (alsa, audigy...)
-

- - edd (ddc probe) moved to kudzu
- - add "-Odir_index" option to ext3 tunefs
- - screenshoting in directory /root/anaconda-screenshots/ instead of using exported display

- - drop xmode (bring up text mode in a remote xterm)
- - code available to check the ability to do a mkbootdisk
- (check size of vmlinuz + initrd, check size of floppy)
- - drop "-Odir_index" option to ext3 tunefs
- (with comment "add back -Odir_index when htree is safe")
- - waitForLink added to loader2/net.c using added ethtool thingy (get_ethtool_link_status, get_link_status)
- - OS390 fdasd & z/IPL changes
- - for kickstart, new option "--ignoremissing", (there were --ignoredeps and --resolvedeps)
- - /usr/kerberos/lib in LD_LIBRARY_PATH
- - these are symlinks so you cant make them mount points
- otherexcept = ['/var/mail', '/usr/bin/X11', '/usr/lib/X11', '/usr/tmp']
-
- elif self.mountpoint in otherexcept:
- return _("The mount point %s cannot be used. It must "
- "be a symbolic link for proper system "
- "operation. Please select a different "
- "mount point.") % (self.mountpoint,)

- # CVS XFree86 support them now in 4.2.99.2
- - special options "externDisp" and "internDisp" for NeoMagic cards
- together with CHIPSET
