Hi uel, for a while i was going thru the source code of dialog, to see how to get = a tabbed dialog. so that all of the installer can be put in one dialog, and it is easy to move between pages. unfortunately though it can be done, i dont have the time for it. Instead of showing one page at a time, we could display all of the info gathering part in one place, and then move on to a progress indicator . right now the info gathering part is spread across several screens. It gives a much simpler mental model to work with. also gives the impression that the installer is small where as in reality the number of screens can be the same. cheers ram On 5/3/06, uel archuletta <ue...@gm...> wrote: > > well anyone else have any ideas they would like to see in the installer > tools > something you might need before or after install? > or even to rescue a system? > > |

Ram, right now we are working on a gui installer that uses pages. I would be interested in the information about a tabbed dialog as I have no= t been able to find any, and I would like to duplicate the gui installer in case of problems with autoconfiguring X Thanks, Uel On 5/4/06, Sriram Durbha <sri...@gm...> wrote: > > Hi uel, > for a while i was going thru the source code of dialog, to see how to ge= t > a tabbed dialog. > so that all of the installer can be put in one dialog, and it is easy to > move between pages. > unfortunately though it can be done, i dont have the time for it. > Instead of showing one page at a time, we could display all of the info > gathering part in one place, and then move on to a progress indicator . > right now the info gathering part is spread across several screens. > It gives a much simpler mental model to work with. > also gives the impression that the installer is small where as in reality > the number of screens can be the same. > cheers > ram > > > > On 5/3/06, uel archuletta <ue...@gm...> wrote: > > > > well anyone else have any ideas they would like to see in the installer > > tools > > something you might need before or after install? > > or even to rescue a system? > > > > > |

Vanger, what would you like to keep from /etc ? I am just trying to understand better so we can see if it is possible.

uel, i agree with vagner in a general sense. ideally with one CD we should be able to do the following. 1. Install to the disk 2. upgrade / update an existing install 3. use it as a live cd 4. rescue a borked install out of these currently we are discussing the installer. so 1,2 and 4 apply; and i think vagner's point refers to number 2 above. cheers ram On 5/5/06, uel archuletta <ue...@gm...> wrote: > > Vanger, > what would you like to keep from /etc ? > I am just trying to understand better so we can see if it is possible. > > Thanks, > Uel > > > On 5/5/06, Vanger <fa...@gm...> wrote: > > > > On 5/3/06, uel archuletta < ue...@gm...> wrote: > > > > > > well anyone else have any ideas they would like to see in the > > installer > > > tools > > > something you might need before or after install? > > > or even to rescue a system? > > > > > > > As for me, I would really like an "Upgrade" button, that will preserve > > /etc as much as it's possible. > > > > > > ------------------------------------------------------- > > Using Tomcat but need to do more?

I mean it in the way of not needing to reconfigure different settings, that are located on / partition, in /etc to be more exact. And reinstall programs after upgrading is so windows-like.. As I see it - on VL installation CD are placed lists of packages, bundled into different versions of VL - from 1.8, I think. That would be about 100K of text, not more. Then, if the "Upgrade" button is pressed, the installer checks, what version of VL is installed, finds corresponding to this version package-list and removepkg everything in that list. Then, without reformatting the partition, new packages, that form new VL version, are installpkged. So, all user-installed programs and configurations for them are left intact. I've tired to rewrite my rc.local script and to reinstall Opera. Of course, user should be warned, that some incompatibles may occur, and if something works unclear, it would be better to reinstall, not upgrade. |
