I like the document, thx for this. |
| 14 |
For the different architecture, I can test it on ppc on a regular basis. |

About server/desktop distinction, I think the default (suggested) packages |
| 17 |
installed does matter. |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
But before this distinction, I'd like your input about the global direction of |
| 20 |
the installer : |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
- should it be minimalist : partitioning, network, install X if desktop |
| 23 |
oriented, and reboot. At first boot, have configuration tools + software |
| 24 |
manager (to install stuff) displayed. This is what I'd prefer, because there |
| 25 |
is no duplication, and you could call the config step after install. |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
- should it be complete : partitioning, network, different installation groups, |
| 28 |
full config (net, users, security, server packages, printing, sound, ...) |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
I think it's interesting to think about that now |
