User boots 11.1-{Gnome,KDE}-LiveCD. Then they click on the Live Installer icon on the desktop, which launches the install application which resembles a subset of the classic SUSE installer. User is asked to set the timezone, partitioning, and creation of the first user. Then User is shown an installation setting summary screen. Pretty much the only other thing that can be changed from that screen is the bootloader. Somewhere in this workflow, from the summary screen at a minimum, the user should be presented with a dialog to set the hostname. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Problem is I'm not the author or maintainer of the live installer code but I agree it would be good to have the hostname setup as part of this workflow. Therefore I address that back to the yast2 people -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I understand the inconvinience with setting host name, OTOH you (as expert) are changing much more stuff - also the way network is being set up from NetworkManager to ifup. The only way I see is to enable the automatic vs. manual 2nd stage of the installation - but I'm not sure we really want it for live installation (and I don't think it is a good idea to do it in current phase of 11.1 development). Stefan, what do you think for 11.2? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Can you name another operating system where it is possible to complete the installation without being asked to name the computer? I suspect it would be impossible for a user, new to SUSE, to figure out how to name their computer something besides "linux-<random>". -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
