Hi,
I tried to install 2.2-GAMMA today, and have noticed the following
"features" of the install program:
1) if some distribution is selected but missing (e.g. I chose
"X-developer" but did not have "proflibs" and "info" on my disk),
then X is not installed. The install program correctly informs me
that "proflibs" and "info" are missing, and also installs the
various "src" distributions, so I guess the problem is detecting
the failure and stopping before trying to install X
2) in the "Adduser" form, the "Login Id" entry is a bit too small
(5-6 chars instead of 8 ?) -- Also, if the adduser fails because of
some problem (e.g. a non-existing group), the content of the form
is not preserved and one has to reenter everything from scratch.
Cheers
Luigi
