Agree. Still, how many (apart from dial-up users perhaps) would have to set up the network manually? If we take a single PC, connected to the internet, somewhere there will likely be a DHCP service, either in the router or direct from the provider.

Wifi. And network card setup. For example, my computer has two cards, one disconnected. Automatic discovery would take a longish time.

Exceptions, exceptions. :-)

I think that the idea of displaying a map upfront is nice. Geodiscovery too, but it is not so simple. Perhaps if the network can be tried in the background, and if found guess the location, but else, nothing.

My thinking is to do something along these lines: a) as early as possible and in the background, attempt network setup of the first nic with dhcp. b) if it works, get a countrycode (and zoom in map as we do today), make semi-educated guesses about language and keyboard. We should not wait for a countrycode to become available, if it isn't ready by the time we're ready to display the map, we forget it. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (-2.1°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
