Not sure if it matters anymore, but here are my comments: NOTE: this was using http://people.freebsd.org/~nwhitehorn/bsdinstall-i386-20110118.iso.bz2 . 1. The i386 image (apparently) isn't compiled with ATACAM, etc support so opening /dev/cd0 always fails with ENODEV. 2. There's a lot of noise at bootup related to missing files. Putting in a dummy /etc/fstab, adding hostid_enable="NO", and setting hostname="" to a dummy value in rc.conf will help weed out some noise. 3. The initial dialog beeped when I first pressed the right key on my keyboard. Maybe hw.syscons.bell=0 would help? 4. Splitting up the Keyboard Menu into regions and providing human readable names would help. Partition Editor (I used Manual for the first try): 1. It would be helpful if the cursor was at the end of the textbox so that I didn't have to position the cursor at the end or press the delete key. 2. K is a bogus suffix for kilo-; k is correct. 3. Having a mountpoint for a bsdlabel partition doesn't make sense and is confusing. 4. Backing out of the Partition Manager and going back to the previous dialogs is impossible. 5. Noting that the values (freebsd-ufs, etc) map back to gpart driven values would be helpful. I exited the install and tried again on the command line. Couldn't conjure up the right gpart commands (manpage sucks for what I was looking for -- creating a new partition), I went back into the partedit command that was in /usr/libexec/ and entered in data manually . Committed my changes which threw me back into the prompt and then hit ^d to get back into the installer proper. The first run around failed for some odd reason (claimed it couldn't create boot/kernel.gz, or whatever, so there might be some error checking missing with mount, mkdir, etc). Chose restart, walked through the process again and chose manual, made sure the slice was properly configured for / and swap was setup, then continued. This time the install went through properly. Progress bar: I think you're on the right track by simplifying the install, but it could be polished to say: kernel world distribution (in what context is distribution? Is it configuration files, etc from `make distribution' ?) Configuring Network (etc) Seems like this could have been done earlier on to shrink the CD size down a bit. Add Users (YAY! something that finally works) - Prompts seem ok. - Login class - getting too specific IMO; this should be done after the first boot. - Home directory - /usr/home was the traditional home directory root for BSD I thought. - Home directory permissions - as an aside, what are the default? - Use password-based authentication - what other options are there other than not having a password or using a non-master.passwd backend like LDAP, etc? - Lock out account after creation - I would remove this; again, it seems like something that an admin can do after first boot. In general: Some of the dialogs are a bit small (like the DHCP status dialog). Enlarging them might help. Hopefully this feedback is helpful.

And all the CD environment stuff and the bsdinstall UI (which most of your comments are about) will be extremely similar to a merged pc-sysinstall installer. There is also a chance we will end up with bsdinstall basically as-is as the 9.0 installer if we can't get the merge done in time. > NOTE: this was using > http://people.freebsd.org/~nwhitehorn/bsdinstall-i386-20110118.iso.bz2 > . > > 1.

Do you want to back out of the partition manager to use the auto paritioner? If you press "Abort", you can restart the installation, which isn't so far off from that.

As you probably noticed, all this does (like the root password screen) is to run adduser in a chroot in the new system, so this is just the set of questions adduser asks.

I'm not so much worried about the failure as I am about the noise visible to the end user. A lot of stuff fails today silently, that should fail silently, and that's ok as long as it makes sense in the overall design of things. So again, printing that stuff is fine in verbose mode but doesn't make sense in a more polished / quiet mode that will be packaged as an install distribution to lots of users. >> 2.

I'll look at that again in my next run-through. Before what was nice about sysinstall is that it placed the help diags further up on the screen, so visually I had to parse the text at the top first before I proceeded downward.

The new libdialog's algorithm for sizing windows is overly liberal in vertical space, but conservative in horizontal space, which is kind of annoying because 60 columns should be ok for an autosized line, and I hate scrolling up and down looking for what I need to read. >> Hopefully this feedback is helpful. > > It is!

It is possible to gray out fields, but you'd have to have hooks to check at each keystroke what the contents of the partition-type field are.

I re-opened it after you pointed out that it's a generic problem: "Again, I understand that Xorg/Xfree86 is no longer bundled with FreeBSD, but the problem from the sounds of it was a logic issues where if all of the components from X were deselected, X itself should be deselected (or at least should be permitted to be deselected, whereas sysinstall(8) didn't allow that). Other logic issues similar to this may exist within the sysinstall(8) code, but until they crop up, this item should remain closed." -- Bruce Cran From owner-freebsd-sysinstall@FreeBSD.ORG Mon Jan 24 11:07:10 2011 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-sysinstall@FreeBSD.org Received: from mx1.freebsd.org (mx1.freebsd.org [IPv6:2001:4f8:fff6::34]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id CA9B71065703 for ; Mon, 24 Jan 2011 11:07:10 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from owner-bugmaster@FreeBSD.org) Received: from freefall.freebsd.org (freefall.freebsd.org [IPv6:2001:4f8:fff6::28]) by mx1.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id B813F8FC0A for ; Mon, 24 Jan 2011 11:07:10 +0000 (UTC) Received: from freefall.freebsd.org (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.14.4/8.14.4) with ESMTP id p0OB7AZm077941 for ; Mon, 24 Jan 2011 11:07:10 GMT (envelope-from owner-bugmaster@FreeBSD.org) Received: (from gnats@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.14.4/8.14.4/Submit) id p0OB7Ajw077939 for freebsd-sysinstall@FreeBSD.org; Mon, 24 Jan 2011 11:07:10 GMT (envelope-from owner-bugmaster@FreeBSD.org) Date: Mon, 24 Jan 2011 11:07:10 GMT Message-Id: <201101241107.p0OB7Ajw077939@freefall.freebsd.org> X-Authentication-Warning: freefall.freebsd.org: gnats set sender to owner-bugmaster@FreeBSD.org using -f From: FreeBSD bugmaster To: freebsd-sysinstall@FreeBSD.org Cc: Subject: Current problem reports assigned to freebsd-sysinstall@FreeBSD.org X-BeenThere: freebsd-sysinstall@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list List-Id: Sysinstall Work List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Mon, 24 Jan 2011 11:07:10 -0000 Note: to view an individual PR, use: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=(number).

An empty label in the partition editor shows up as (null) when modifying the partition. 2. Create a single partition covering the entire disk with a GPT scheme and you get prompted to create a freebsd-boot partition. It displays an error saying there's no space left but displays the freebsd-boot partition in the list. 3. Modifying freebsd-ufs to freebsd-zfs in the partition editor seems to confuse bsdinstall - I know ZFS probably isn't supported. 4.

Since you don't have the distfiles on your hard drive, it is trying to fetch them from the internet. Since there isn't anywhere to fetch them from yet, the default mirror is "".
