Anaconda/F14 DVD Install

DVD Install Walkthrough

Note this does not include the time required to download the ISO (1.5 hours here) and burn the ISO to a DVD (10 minutes), nor setting the computer to boot from DVD.

Total elapsed time, including media check, was 45 minutes.

Syslinux

Pick Ïnstall a new system or upgrade an existing system" from the syslinux menu.

• basic video driver - why would I use this?
• rescue installed system - okay, this is sensical, although I wouldnt think to use an install DVD for this
• boot from local drive - better wording?
• memory test - why is this here?

Ugly Black Screen

• vmlinuz... blah blah.... initrd.img.... blah blah
• do people need to see this? :(

Media check

• Do you want to go ahead, or do you want to test your media?

Media check - are you sure?

• Do you really want to media test, or eject? This screen seems a little nonsensical in this order.

Media check - progress bar

Media check successful

• Just an OK button, nothing else you can do
• The DVD pops out, which is an annoyance as you have to insert it back in

Running anaconda...

Seems to be a conversion between ncurses mode to graphical mode.
