[opensuse-project] some curious questions :-)
by Krupanský 16 Jul '07

Hello Sorry, but I´m curious:-) Here i have found this amazing mockup http://en.opensuse.org/Image:Os103-installer-mockup.png Quote from http://en.opensuse.org/Pimp_My_Installer "The installer is the first thing potential openSUSE users see, and an immediate 'pleasant surprise' effect is very important..." So, can i expect changes in installer for new opensuse 10.3 like this?Because it is fantastic and that green color very fits. And here http://en.opensuse.org/UX/Installation is mentionted Easy to use, Quick installationtime, Pleasing look and feel. So, are you going to plane reduce install steps?Because openSUSE has the most install steps. Thank you for your answers. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help(a)opensuse.org

None. Perhaps i defined my sentence "Because openSUSE has the most install steps." badly :-) I agree with opinion of Alberto. But here http://en.opensuse.org/UX/Installation/opensuse_102_installation are some cons.So i don´t know what it means.If some changes are planned.

[opensuse-project] Handling GPT disk labels
by Silviu Marin-Caea 07 Jul '07

07 Jul '07

GPT disk-labels (partition tables) are a new type of disk-labels that don't have the limitations of the ms-dos partition table. The ms-dos partition table is what almost everybody uses right now. The most notable of the ms-dos partition table limitations is the 2 TB limit for a partition. We are not that far away from this kind of capacity on the desktop. To properly handle GPT disk labels, we need a tool that can write them (parted) and a boot manager that understands them (grub2). Luckily, the filesystem limits are a little farther. Can this be considered for inclusion in 10.3? --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-project] Should we report _every_ acpi bug?
by Mark Gray 06 Jul '07

06 Jul '07

I have three computers new enough to have fully functional acpi when using Win-XP(spit), but all three have very different buggy DSDT's, and none of them work correctly with the current Linux acpi, apart from booting and powering off. That is all I really require of Linux acpi since I only use them while they are plugged in, and I am quite happy to wait patiently for the promised generic solution to the acpi problem. The question I have is whether or not filing detailed bug reports for all three computers would help or hinder the effort. (The acpi team has a daunting task ahead of them given the buggy DSDT's manufacturers continue to ship, and flooding them with more information might just slow them down it occurs to me). --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help(a)opensuse.org
