Here is some more observations. Since for my impression Slinky is
technically already at a very high level, this time it is only some
usability-stuff, which may make it easier, for someone new to find his
way trough the strange world of Linux.
* Installing from the ISO and having therefore the stage2 files on a CD
already in the CD-Drive (always in this situation): Slinky still
prompts for inserting the disk containing the stage 2 files in the
cdrom drive and to press 'enter' when ready.
-> This should be ommited if possible
* SKIP_FORMAT_ROOT=0 in slinky.config gives strange results - I thínk
because it does the same as SKIP_FORMAT_ROOT=1.
-> SKIP_FORMAT_ROOT=0 should format the hd w/o prompting (may be an
extra warning should be placed in slinky.config.sample like "WARNING:
setting SKIP_FORMAT_ROOT to 1 formats the partition without any
further prompting!! Do NOT use this option on systems with data you
may need later.
* After stage2 scripts installation, the Rule-ISO CDROM is not ejected.
--> The change of CDROMS should be consistent - I would prefer, that
the disks are always ejected and the user is prompted to hit enter,
when he has inserted the new disk (like alredy implemented between
RH disk 1 and disk 2).
Bye, Ingo.
