First, sorry for the extremely slow reply. I cloned the git tree today, and tested it (commit 7759607dfbe230922ec236a09892fbc06baac7ce) in a cleanly installed system. Notes: - It would be nice to allow installing without a swap partition, the console installer allows it. - During the download, it would be nice to have a global progressbar, not just a per-package one. - The 'Forward' button is "clicked in" during the download: http://frugalware.org/~vmiklos/pics/bug/fwife.png that's unintentional, I guess. :) - It would be nice if there would be a 'make install' target, so that we could package fwife (and include it in fwlive). - On stdout/stderr, I get some warnings: http://frugalware.org/~vmiklos/logs/fwife.log (though just forget them if they do not appear at you, on this minimal system I get such warnings from firefox as well). - I selected locale-extra and now the poor installer seem to download all the language packs, while the original setup always selected only the relevant ones, based on the language. - The default filesystem is ext2, I guess ext3 would be better. - When using file:/// as a custom mirror, it seems that there is no feedback during the download. Of course if you are patient then the install progressbars are OK again. :) (and there you have the global and the local progressbar, something like this would be needed for the download one). - Spelling: connexion is connection in English. :) - xconfig seem not to call /usr/libexec/xconfig-helper, so you can easily create a non-working xorg.conf. - Your improved xconfig allows selecting the login manager in /etc/sysconfig/desktop, but when I select kdm from kdm and xdm, and last line of /etc/sysconfig/desktop will be: #desktop="/usr/bin/xdm -nodaemon"#desktop="/usr/bin/slim"#desktop="/usr/sbin/gdm --nodaemon"desktop="/usr/bin/kdm -nodaemon" so that X is not started after the install. (The contents seem to be fine, just don't omit the \ns.) - root:root is the owner/group of /home/user, so users have no write access to their HOME. - It seems that /etc/X11/xorg.conf is missing after the install, so I had to run xconfig manually after booting to the installed system. Other than that, well done!
