<PRE>Hi,
because one person thanked me for my last email on upgrading from mdv, i'm
continuing the series of emails with this 3rd issue: installing via text
installer. (i'm reminded also by olorin_ that this could be important for
braille installs too; though i have no such knowledge)
conclusion:
text installer is not yet ready, there is some major bugs in it. (and i love
the new artwork on the graphic installer)
what happened:
- first i want to mention that sshd is not in rescue mode, i knew about this
beforehand, so i didn't test this: i maintain that this is one of the most
important aspects (to me) to have the FIRST fully functional rescue mode for
x86_64 on a CD! (to have anything else, requires either 32bit (which can't
execute chrooted stuff from x86_64), or a full fledged DVD... on ANY DISTRO i've
come accross on. </rant>)
- in graphical grub: F3 to choose text, still gives you a graphical installer,
workaround is pressing ESC to go to textual grub, then press "text" to get
there. (#645)
- diskdrake has a few major issues and i urge you to just use the standard
"use free space" one, because the manual partitioning just doesn't work
properly (#646 and #647)
- i must say i was amazed at the speed of installation (partly because there
just isn't alot to install on the dual arch iso) :-P
- i chose almost nothing packages, and deselected everything i came accross,
but still i installed networking computer server and firewall/router.
- configuration after install worked as expected, thought there were a few
minor "visual artefacts"
- then it asked me to update, and i said yes, after which a window appeared,
then disappeared, but then seemed to wait for 10-15min of doing nothing, after
which i could reboot (#648)
- then i logged in as root in tty (did i mention i didn't install even LXDE?)
- but i saw that my locales were not installed, ahmad pointed me out that
those weren't on the dual arch isos, and that is indeed correct (#649)
it did make me think on bug (#103) and perhaps it might not be a bad idea to
just remember what was missing and install during updates installation. (as a
sort of quick fix, because we all know the installer needs a bit of redoing,
but that will take alot of time).
well, that was it. text installer needs the diskdrake bugs sorted out imho to
be ok.
