[Vectorlinux-devel] VL6.0-SOHO-A1.9.18.iso

[M0E L. <m0...@gm...>]

I just tried this ISO with the latest and greatest installer.
Have not ran it yet, but I'm @ the first screen now.

I noticed you got some of the X stuff for keyboards, so I enabled my
code for it.
You are missing the stuff in /usr/share/X11/xkb/rules though.
Because the rules are missing, the keyboard selection is useless at
this point, until we get a new ISO with that stuff in it.

Just for test purposes, I copied that over from an existin 6.0 light
install, and the keyboard settings stick correctly, so that's the only
thing we need.
This dir is only 956K, so it should not be a whole lot of trouble to
get it in there.

ok the initrd is fixed, we were missing a xkb symlink in /usr/share/X11. I did load all the pertinent Xkeyboard stuff into /etc/X11/xkb just has the missing symlink so should be good to go now. I did not update version numbers so the final iso is still VL6-SOHO-A1.9.18.iso. Give it a go see how it works!

Cheers,

I have just finished changing the way the system reads the partition table.
I took one of the hard drives in uel's box, created 15 partitions.
There are 2 swap partitions on different drives.
the isntaller sees all of them.

I modified the way partitions are detected/displayed/selected.

The new change sort of reflects the way the ubuntu installer selects partitions.
Click on one, the dialog comes up for you to select the properties for
the partition.

This change was necessary because the I noticed in the old method with
the dropdowns by each partition, if you have more partitions than you
can fit vertically on the screen, you use the scrollbars to select the
ones on the bottom. Everything scrolls, but the dropdowns stay on
their place... doesn't look good at all, and I wasn't confident it was
going to work...

This new method will work much better, and is also a performance
improvement over the last method. This is now object-based.
I figured, the partitions are read once at tht time the installer is
searching for installable media, so I used the results of that search
to create partition objects, and simply list these on a step later...
makes a lot more sense... no need to probe the system for partitions
over and over.

Binary is updated now including these changes in code. Hope it works
for you guys....
