Comments on current install process

Postby rgmhtt » Tue Sep 08, 2009 2:20 pm

I am fine with the requirements and install parts.

There could be a pointer to how to set up with Disk Druid if you want your shares in their own partition. IE that shares are in /var/hda/files (this is in the wiki on installing a second drive).

Now about the Setup or 'configuring' page http://www.amahi.org/instructions/configure_fedora

This page is left over from FC9. FC10 does not seem to LET you get away without creating a user account. I could not find it. Bullets 2 and 3 are confusing on this screen.

The last bullet will be confusing to the novice. After they log in with ID 'foo' are they suppose to log out and then log in as 'root'? I mean when you are at the desktop, you are logged in; how can you then 'login as root'. Of course once you go on to AMAHI setup (the next screen) you can guess that 'login in as root' applies here, after you open a terminal window.

So some cleanup, and getting it in line with FC10 would be good.

Then IMHO, yum update should be run before "hda-install CODE". It would seem you are looking for bumps along the way if not.

Further on the http://hda I cannot find anyplace that explicitly runs yum update. How is updating done? A fresh install I did today is requiring 575Mb of update downloads.
