Two questions.
- When installing package sets, I do not see an "Everything" option
the way there was in 4.x. Should there be? I also don't recall being asked if I wanted Server/Workstation/Custom groupings.
There is no Everything nor Server, Workstation.
Having dealt with customer issues.. Everything installs cause more headaches for naieve users (and the people who later have to cleanup/fix/secure) and their systems. The standard security philosophy of less is better than more.. also says that people should set up systems with the minimal requirements they need, and only install stuff they know what to do. Other people will disagree with this, but they can finess this themselves with a kickstart.
Custom is done via a button at the bottom of package choices .
- When partitioning the disk, if I accidentally select "Use free
space and create a default layout", the installer naturally cannot do anything. However it's failure mode is to report, then prompt for a reboot. Shouldn't it go back to the previous menu?
It should.. and this is an upstream problem. If possible we will see what fixes can be done for this if not fixed in a 'upstream hotfix'.
I actually opened the second one as a minor bug, but then thought maybe I should ask about it first.
