A minor bugForum: HD Install Topic: A minor bug started by: curaga Posted by curaga on Feb. 08 2007,06:37
Aint it a little in vain to have hd-install and frugal install in the fluxbox menu after hd install? I think frugal won't even work then, 'cause everything has already been unpacked...The other minor bug, man not working after hd-install, can you fix that too? Posted by mikshaw on Feb. 08 2007,14:41
The fluxbox menu is static unless you modify it yourself. Unless there is justifiable reason to add code simply to remove a few lines of harmless text, I don't see it as a bug.You already know what the man fix is, and since it's already been posted there's no reason to nag. =o) Posted by curaga on Feb. 09 2007,06:15
sorry...It's just a visual improvement.. But if frugal won't work, isn't that a reason? Posted by mikshaw on Feb. 09 2007,13:47
Could you explain what you mean by "frugal won't work"?BTW, you definitely have to change your avatar. The current one is 2000-pixels wide and 1.5 Megabytes!! It took several minutes (not seconds) for this page to finish loading on dialup. I now have your avatar blocked from my browser, but please show some respect to others by resizing the thing or choosing a different image. Posted by ^thehatsrule^ on Feb. 09 2007,14:28
He's saying that a frugal install is not applicable when running off an already installed traditional hd-install. In fact, I wonder if any of the install scripts would completely work after that kind of installation either...And I agree about mikshaw's point about your avatar. I think most other boards have a limit implemented by default on the size of it. Posted by roberts on Feb. 09 2007,15:25
Frugal installations are possible, because the script presents the user with several source options, including the use of a local iso file.You could be running a THI and then download the latest iso and frugal install it into another partition or drive/partition. Some of us, who have to test a myriad of new code on many install types actually have both types installed on a single machine. Posted by WDef on Feb. 09 2007,16:06
Doesn't load at all for me, just as well. EDIT: I spoke too soon. It loads, it just takes five minutes! Posted by curaga on Feb. 10 2007,10:18
So sorry for that too.. I thought that the forum does the resizing automagically. Now it's resized and only 6.5k....So frugal works if I have a packed version somewhere? Ok.. |
