Yes the OBI can handle dual-boot and multi-boot systems. You are recommended to edit the partitions with gparted before running the OBI at the advanced level, or re-use some partition, that already exists. > 2- The biggest problem that I see in OBI is: there is no way - unless I > am blind - to create a user name that I could use later after the > installation is done. Please correct me, Nio :) The OBI does not create user names. But there is a way: If the tarball was made from an OEM installation, you will be prompted to create a user name, user ID and computer name, when the installed system is started (when you boot into it the first time). I know Israel is aware of this option, but he has focused on other tasks so far. There are several such OEM tarballs available for the standard OBI system at http://phillw.net/isos/one-button-installer/ See also https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OBI Another way is to create a new user (when running the installed system), but I recommend using the OEM method, unless it would use too much disk space and make the iso file oversized (for CD). > 3- Because of #2, Logging in with "torios" password is not convenient at > all but hey, we are testing the alpha so it is not the end of the world. :-) > 9- Synaptic does not work from the menu but it does work from Terminal: > Menu > System > XTerm > gksudo synaptic > torios as password > done. > Because I have no internet, I couldn't install anything.

Otherwise maybe an instruction or a very simple script using zenity might help adding another user. -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~torios Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~torios More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
