Using the x86_64 DVD image to do install from hard disk seemed to work well. The new storage system is off the charts geeky and impossible to use. I don't have the model numbers of my disks memorised and stashed in my head to know which one is which. There is absolutely no point in presenting me with a page that lists obscure model numbers and asks which disks I want to include in the install. The only conceivable answer is always going to be all of them, because I can't possibly tell which is which till I see them in the screen that lets me do formatting and shows me pictures of the partitions on the disks. Even that screen could use some help. I have labels on my partitions, and if I edit the partition, it will tell me the current label, but it would sure be handy to see the current label in the list of all the disks and partitions as one of the columns of info shown. When navigating through anaconda with the tab key, it is virtually impossible to tell which item is "current". The colors for merely highlighted items are nearly identical to selected items, and the selected color actually seems to be slightly paler than the highlighted items, thus inverting the tradition of selected things being quite dark blue and highlighted things being very light blue. During the install, the installer seemed to hang quite a long time when it got to the "bind" package. I looked in some of the Ctl-Alt-Fn terminals, and saw this at the end of one screen (which I have now retrieved from anaconda.log): 18:50:57,062 INFO anaconda: Preparing to install packages 18:51:19,406 WARNING anaconda: /usr/lib/anaconda/gui.py:542: GtkWarning: gtk_progress_set_percentage: assertion `percentage >= 0 && percentage <= 1.0' failed self.progress.set_fraction (newval) 18:51:33,925 WARNING anaconda: /usr/lib/anaconda/iw/progress_gui.py:67: GtkWarning: Failed to set text from markup due to error parsing markup: Error on line 2 char 32: Element 'markup' was closed, but the currently open element is 'NAME' self.infolabel.set_markup(txt) By the time I finished looking around at the vterms, the install had finally picked back up. Now that I've recorded that before forgetting it, I'm off to actually let it run firstboot... -- test mailing list test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test
