L> We're not going to cover all possible partition allocation scenarios in our L> installer. Actually it's the most common case - use a whole drive. Only old-school beards use separate partitions, because they have complex use scenario on corporate servers. I think it's not a big job put one more option [x] Use full drive - this will simplify entrance for beginners (if you wish Gobo be more popular). *Problem #2: On “select packages” stage ALL PACKAGES WERE SELECTED! L> Been there, done that. We may do that on the next release again. Yep, cool! Funny to say, but some people even don't need GCC! Having minimal preselected set won't create any problem, since we have dependency resolution. > *Problem #3: Only a few packages had description. WHY?? L> We had a call for alpha/beta testing and, despite the great feedback we L> received, nobody noticed that, and I didn't spot that either. Emm... I cannot detect, is it eyes problem or something mental, but believe me - sitting in front of hundred abbreviations is not the option even for professional penguinners. I saw _a_few_ descriptions, but most of 'em were missing. Do you confirm THEY WERE MISSING? Hardly only my PC lost the text! :) > *Problem #4:** Autoinstall of packages went well only for first 30 > packages, next I got… NO SPACE ERROR! L> Are you sure you have formatted your target partition? Ah... thanks, one more puzzle (after fdisk) before I get normal installation! :) You can hate Windowoze, but it's exemplary system for user friendly setup. My offer is to eliminate this headache with partitions/formatting - in 21th century it's shame to behave like geeks from 70-ies - format that, solder that, switch this... it's boring/stupid/ridiculous! Installer should offer default, non-intrusive behaviour: automate as much as possible, give option where it's necessary. Next->next->next - viola, your system is ready! L> ... Or, perhaps, you installed it on the ESP (bootloader) partition. No-no... don't mix responsibility - not me, but Installer! My job was just answer dialogs. *So please let’s fix these childish problems and reissue new, more adequate > release.* L> I like it whey you say "let's". I will happily review pull requests. I'm developer and happy to help, but my primary language is C# on Win. In background I have Perl, C, Tcl, Ruby, Delphi... hell, I can study even Lua! Just guess how I was disappointed to see Installer was written on clownish 'python'. Fortran-like "space depended syntax" - I thought it's dead in 70-es, but no... there is always marginal people who drive across road. :) Well, I can look at the code, but I cannot guarantee my fixes won't make you falling in LOL :) This code: https://github.com/gobolinux/Installer/blob/master/bin/GoboLinuxInstaller is the only code used for setup? _______________________________________________ gobolinux-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gobolinux.org/mailman/listinfo/gobolinux-users
