Some laptops (such as the one I'm using right now), have a numpad installed.
I would recommend an installer option that asks the user whether or not it's
got a numpad.
It's probably also not feasible to look at the CPU name both because there
are a lot of cpu types out there, and I doubt you're going to find a nice
list of every one possibly available, and because there are some crazy folk
out there who put a mobile chip in a desktop (for overclocking), or a normal
chip in a laptop.

Subject: [Pcbsd-developer] Detecting if computer is laptop or desktop
Hello guys :)
Is it possible to detect if the user's computer is a laptop or desktop?
Renato suggested looking at the CPU name and decide accordingly. Is it 100%
sure to work?
Is there another way?
If not, I suggested to add a "Select between laptop or desktop" option
during installation to turn on/off the numlock key accordingly.
Discussion here: http://www.pcbsd.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=2402
Have a nice week-end! :)

Landemaine. I think that looking at cpu name is 100% sure way to know what type of system you run and maybe choose automagically precompiled kernel for additional system. Sometimes even simplier is replace couple of lines in sysctrl.conf. APM or ACPI support is must for resume/suspend on laptops. Battery indicator won't hurt either. |

I was comparing InstallShield, an installer for Windows such as Nullsoft or WISE, and our PBI installer. There are several more features on InstallShield that we might want to add to the PBI installer too, I'd like to know what you think about the following features: - Setup type: Typical, Compact, Custom (to select what items you want to install) - Support several users or single user - Choose language - Select MIME types (offers the MIME types defined by the PBI maintener) - Require root password to launch application (or not) Also, a few applications for Windows have on the first install screen a sort of "banner" with the logo of the application, and a slogan. I think it would be cool to have the possibility for the PBI developper to add a standard image with the logo of the application itself, such as this one but a little smaller: http://www.opera.com/img/front/betterbrowsing2.jpg for obvious brand name recognition. An additional screen with release notes or warnings can be useful under certain circumstances. What do you think? This would make the PBI installer a little better, more personalized, and more flexible :) -- Charles A. Landemaine. |

Working hard here :) Getting little things tweaked and trying to fix some old bugs before 1.0-release. As for installer, it can be started pretty much anytime. It should be for the next release after 1.0, not sure what the version number will be yet though. I really like the mockup's Paul made. Pretty slick background, now if we can just figure out how to skin QT like that in development. If anybody knows how to do it, send me a shout! --- Kris Moore Andrei Kolu wrote: > Charles A.

It's just not KDE. I also think this is the a good option but as you know, it takes lots of work. Making all stuff work from the CD will be much harder than what we have right now. |

Yep, good idea. The minimum requirements are for a Pentium, so I'll make this change. The next kernel update will be for i686 only, and the 1.0-final release will be as well. --- Kris Moore Daniel F wrote: > On 3/9/06, *Andrei Kolu* <an...@bs... <mailto:an...@bs...>> wrote: > > Hi, > > I have suggestion about kernel kompile options.

Yes, I agree with you. Those machines are too old to be used in conjuction with PC-BSD (though they are stil useful with FreeBSD :) ).

One simple idea recently implemented by the FreeBSD Project
might help - the "list of projects and ideas for
volunteers" ("http://www.freebsd.org/projects/ideas/"). Those
with a few minutes / hours / days / etc. to spare can easily
see what they can do to help in one easily-accessible place.
One or more ideas might appeal to them, hence hooking 'em!
A PC-BSD article similar to "Contributing to
FreeBSD" ("http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/contributing/index.html")
might be worthwhile too as it gives a more general and verbose
description of what potential developers might be able to
contribute.
Just ideas :-)

Hello guys! PC-BSD is maturing, and I think it's the time to look for more developpers and contributors, what do you think? There are many ambitious features that users are asking for on the forum, also there are bugs that we need to fix, I think if we want to maintain the pace, we need more people to help us. Also, we need a lot more PBI developpers to add as many PBIs as possible to the PBIDir! :) What do you think? How could we find more developpers and contributors? Best of luck! :D -- Charles A.

If you send me the plain text, HTML, or PDF, then I could read it. Sending people documents in Word format has bad effects, because that practice puts pressure on them to use Microsoft software. In effect, you become a buttress of the Microsoft monopoly. This specific problem is a major obstacle to the broader adoption of PCBSD. Would you please reconsider the use of Word format for communication with other people? |
