Hi Everyone, I installed RHEL 5.1 in a power 5 p570 machine using a network install (ncurses view) and I have an issue. After anaconda formats the partition, it shows a screen with a dialog "starting installation" and it says it will take some time. It took 1 hour and a half to start running the progress bar and copying files. So I wanted to ask two questions: 1) Is it supposed to take that long? I was doing a network install on a server with an effective (steady) connection of about 3 Mbps. If it is, what is it doing in this time (before it actually shows the progress bar and the files being installed/copied)? 2) Wouldn't it be interesting to show some kind of activity response (progress bar or files being copied) so the user won't just think the installation froze? I resetted the machine about 4 times before someone told me it's supposed to take that long. The first question might be complicated to solve, but the second one seems simple enough and I'm interested in "fixing" it. So if someone wants to comment, suggest or help me on where to start, I would be really grateful =) Arthur V. _______________________________________________ Anaconda-devel-list mailing list Anaconda-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/anaconda-devel-list
