Hi,

Thinking out loud, isn't this is going to be more of an interesting issue in 12.1? if it's going to be GNOME 3, it wont be ABLE to have any icons on the desktop

Maybe an application icon is the way to go forward..

in the past the LiveCDs had an installer icon on the desktop - I don't see this with the current GNOME LiveCD ;-(

How do you want to do this for 12.1?

Andreas

I haven't seen the 12.1 version but I am wondering if there is some misunderstanding about this Live CD and the ability to install Gnome 3 when using the Live CD.

The Live CD I have come across with Gnome 3 does NOT have the option to install Gnome 3 when the Live CD is first booted and the menu appears - which is unlike all previous Live CDs where one had the option to Install the system from that first menu.

Live CD with Gnome 3 do not have this option, and one has to know that only by going into Yast can one see the Live Installer option.

As explained in almost all blog posts about GNOME 3 Live image and in the wiki, you have to manually add "liveinstall" to boot command line to get live installer. But Live installer is still available from applications list in GNOME Shell. This issue is due to kiwi not supporting creating customized boot entry ( https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=667950 ) and is not present in GNOME3 Promo DVD (which was "hand-made"). -- Frederic Crozat SUSE -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+help@opensuse.org
