I don't know what we want. However we must remember that the installer CD has |
| 15 |
a more rich environment than is available in a base system. I don't think it |
| 16 |
is nice to have installation to depend on having any resources like X |
| 17 |
available at the running system. To me that means that we don't do the reboot |
| 18 |
for some while, instead run the tools which are on the cd from the installer |
| 19 |
directly. We could also have it depend on whether the user chooses to install |
| 20 |
the configuration tools. If the latter is the case then we can shortcircuit |
| 21 |
the installation phase and reboot after these are installed. |
