[opensuse-factory] some remarks on beta1 install
two general remarks: * the new dns writing sheme is not obvious. I missed the tag the first time. If fixed IP is selected, one should be asked for gateway/dns at install time (only) * The word "download" is used for any install source, including the dvd. so I could "download" release notes when no dns was present... this is confusing. one small problem: I use to install grub on the root partition (not the mbr). like this I can keep many distros on the same disk. I use old grub entry to boot the new 10.3 but the new disk sheme come on... and the kernel didn't recognise the hda6 (in fact (hd0.5) from grub). It kindly ask if it could go on and use the 6th partition of the new sheme, a very good and smart question... but the question was masked by the blue screen. It didn't seem to be waiting time. Something is to be done to be even more smart, not anybody likes to hit esc to see the boot detail... * I really don't like the blue screens, they are too much like the unfamous "blue screen of death" of the competitor :-((( jdd -- http://www.dodin.net http://gourmandises.orangeblog.fr/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

This is a general problem with the blue boot screen. Suggested feature improvement: As soon as any process does a read() call on /dev/tty0 the blue screen should go away. A read() means there is some problem. Normal boot does not read(). cheers, Jw. -- o \ Juergen Weigert paint it green! __/ _=======.=======_ <V> | jw@suse.de wide open suse_/ _---|____________\/ \ | 0911 74053-508 (tm)__/ (____/ /\ (/) | __________________________/ _/ \_ vim:set sw=2 wm=8 SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nuernberg) "This bug is visible to non-employees.
