you might want to keep in mind that most people these days have given up on text based installs in business / enterprise setups. I am quite sure most home users dont want to have the hangup of going through a text installer either. Besides, you are mistaken - there is no integrated lvm/raid on d-i either. if there is one, point it out to me. >> Google comes up with these hints : >> http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&q=ubuntu+install+lvm >> >> If thats the process you need to follow, perhaps in 1994 or in 1996 it >> would have been acceptable. however, things have sort of moved on these >> days. > I presume you mean 2004/2006, frankly would like to know more where > things have moved on these days. Integrated install setup and even things like install to remote storage are features that most people *need* these days, not the sort of things that are nice. And these sort of things have been available for a long time at various places, I know that Redhat-7.3 had proper raid setup at installtime - and this is what ? 1999 - 2000. Ever tried installing ubuntu to an iscsi target running over infiband ? give it a shot sometime. Let me know how many days it takes you get the code integrated into an automated install process. -- Karanbir Singh : http://www.karan.org/ : [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ ilugd mailinglist -- ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Next Event: http://freed.in - February 22/23, 2008 Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org/
