[Vectorlinux-devel] Ideas for New Installer

[<joh...@gm...>]

Last night (US time) in the #vectorlinux-admin chat room, Joe1962 offered a 
link to a screenshot of a mockup for a new GUI-based installer to be part of 
VL 6. One of the features proposed in that mockup was an "expert mode," in 
which the user could control just about every aspect of the installation.

In starting this thread on ideas for the installer in VL 6, I'd like to 
propose the idea of adding blacklisting capability in expert mode only. This 
would be useful for situations where you do not want to use a specific 
adapter, regardless of what the installer finds.

We welcome any and all ideas to improve our installer so that we can kick some 
serious arse on Distrowatch and so that we are the distro that people will 
turn to when they are ready to ditch Winderz. ;-)

Best,
John

I was trying to come up with ideas for things I would like to see in the
expert mode and all I could think of was a way to backup my home directory.
so if its possible maybe we can work that in.
If you can think of anything you would like to see let us know.

Thanks
Uel
