Perhaps some hint in partitioning spoke? Some ideas: (1) We could add it to the network spoke, make it required, and then display the network spoke up front if DHCP didn't give us a hostname. The biggest problem I see with this is making the hostname entry widget obvious enough that the user knows that's what we are asking for. (2) Have the hostname entry widget on the storage spoke somehow. We could have it be an entry on the initial spoke, or perhaps on the "you're all set!" set of dialogs. I don't really care for this idea since hostname isn't obviously related to storage. (3) If the only reason we need hostname is for LV/RAID names, perhaps we could include the entry next to the combo where you pick lvm/raid/standard/btrfs. This is really not discoverable, though, and I think users probably want to be able to enter the hostname for more reasons than this. (4) Could we somehow prompt for it on the second hub and then fill that information in to storage? This would be very complicated for error checking, and would result in the user getting stuck on the progress hub while we wait for them to enter hostname. That might not be obvious at all. I guess of those four suggestions, (1) is the one I dislike the least. Maybe someone else has better ideas. - Chris _______________________________________________ Anaconda-devel-list mailing list Anaconda-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/anaconda-devel-list
