To show what I think would be more desirable in some cases is the following: |
| 8 |
divide the install process into stages. |
| 9 |
-first stage disk preparation (partitioning, creating filesystems etc.) config |
| 10 |
-disk preparation perfomance && configuration of kernel |
| 11 |
-kernel compilation && selection of packages to be installed |
| 12 |
-package compilation/installation && Configuration of certain packages like X |
| 13 |
-continue compilation/installation && effectualize the "X configuration" |
| 14 |
....wait.... |
| 15 |
-reboot |
| 16 |
-post reboot functions |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
Note that this is incomplete (network config is missing), but I think that the |
| 19 |
message is clear. |
