Description:The installation routine gives a number of steps
thru the use of the menu system. The section regarding the
partitioning of the hard drive fails to clearly define which
selection is non-destructive. This is a serious problem for
those desiring to simply recover their system from a bad
upgrade or similar. There is also no warning as given in the
Beginners' Guide where it warns to use Ctrl-C rather than
Cancel.
Additional info: * package version(s) * config and/or log files etc. Steps to reproduce:Boot off of the Arch install CD, log in as root, run the setup routine, select the steps in order on the menu, get to "3. Prepare Harddrive(s)". Note the missing warnings and explanation. |
