I have two comments. Understand that I think the install is so improved that there's no comparison with the older one, so this isn't criticism. First, regarding install via ftp. It would be nice if you could enter all the distributions you wanted at one time. I know there are those who have disk space limitations, who couldn't do that, but it would be a convenience to those of us who could. Second, I had to abort the end of the installation because of a funny bug, where I lost contact with my other machine. I probably caused that myself, because I didn't (at that time) have the nameserver on the other machine working right. Maybe that wasn't the reason, but it refused to recognize the other machine after the first successful ftp. The point is, I had to abort to end a forever loop, and didn't get the installation to do all the nice things at the end, like set passwords and machine name, and whatever else I've missed. There isn't a way to get back to that point, that I could see from the interface. If there's a way, I guess it should go in the tutorial, else a way should be opened so that the last steps *only* can be done. Thanks, I hope this is a help. ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Chuck Robey | Interests include any kind of voice or data chuckr@eng.umd.edu | communications topic, C programming, and Unix. 7608 Topton St. | New Carrollton, MD 20784 | I run Journey2 (Freebsd 2.0) and n3lxx (301) 459-2316 | (FreeBSD 1.1.5.1) and am I happy! ----------------------------+-----------------------------------------------
