I have not checked to see if these fixes have been made in the Cooker
version. I am entering them in while they are still fresh in my mind.
1) When doing an install (say, because the upgrade corrupted the RPM
database), do *NOT* say "Please wait while formatting disks" when the user
has specifically told the program not to format any disks! Some sysadmin
with a weak heart and a fragile system is going to keel-over dead because
of that message one of these days... (Sure as hell scared a few years off
of my life!)
2) If you have an application that creates a log file (say, for example
"hylafax"), please have the install "touch" the file location so that the
log rotation program does not keep spitting out warning messages about
non-existant log files. (Or maybe set the log rotater to actually create
the file if it does not find it!)
3) Documentation as to what the various security levels do (in detail)
available from the starting web page.
4) Put switchdesk back in the menues.
5) Give the (insecure) default user a way to change from KDE back to
Gnome. (That request is from my 14 year-old daughter.)
6) Put a big warning label on the "Complete" version that they will not be
able to select individual packages. So they will not come after your
children in the night.)
Sorry if I sound snippy. I am trying to fix a big mess the 7.2 upgrade
did to my main production machine.
