Hello all, FAI works great and I want unemployed windows users to help installing computers. My problem is that "they" are just frightened about text messages in "that terrible DOS mode". Aaargh.
Is there a way to hide FAI messages during installation and just show an nice looking image or animation (e.g. just showing the current task)? It would be nice (but is not really necessary) when questions during task defclass could be graphical, too. Is there anyone using this kind of splash screen / GUI? I remember years ago someone tried plymouth for FAI (github?/ mailinglist?), but I couldn't find it any more. All I found is a ten year old message: https://lists.uni-koeln.de/pipermail/linux-fai/2008-August/006080.html and an unanswered question five years ago: https://lists.uni-koeln.de/pipermail/linux-fai/2013-December/010255.htm l Fbi / fim looks nice, too. It's for framebuffer devices but it seems to be not that stable. IIRC debian-installer uses gtk+ with directfb / X11. Any ideas /suggestions on that topic? Christian
