Guys,
This should really be reverted to sysinstall until the new installer is
at least in a state where it consistently works... the most important
part of a new users experience is the installer and the few new installs
I have done lately I've just installed 8.2 and upgraded from there as
the new installer is terribly buggy.
Few things:
- On my installs at least, if there is an unknown ftp connection problem
the installer will just bail and say it has been aborted - this
consistently happens when ftp.de is selected
- there is no method of stepping back through the install
- If a dhcp lease request times out manual configuration isn't offered
Another one I've just encountered several times:
For some reason the output for setting root password has new lines and
lots of space between the various bits of text and isn't taking any
input (see http://i.imgur.com/lTP5b.png)
The lack of installation progress or emergency shell on another terminal
is also something that I think should be considered - being able to see
whats going on and getting error output from the commands the installer
is running is invaluable.
I realise that a lot of work has gone into it and it's nice and new, but
really unless it's finished it shouldn't be the default.
Thanks,
J
