Wiki » Feature:Predefinedpackageselection

Summary

I remember in mandrake versions the installer ask the user(technician) desktop type and categories of packages to install, next a menu allowing to refine the selection, would be possible create a menu like that, to evade the subsequent install of packages in the Mageia control center?

Why it would be good for Mageia to include it

Easy for the newbies install this excellent fork

Test case

• The testers must have a listing of categories and software packages related to the categories
• Install in virtual machines, from the DVD, CD and Network media
• Test the predefined selection meets the predefined listing of categories and software packages related to the categories

Software / Packages Dependencies

List of categories and packages to predefine selection

List of packages to be implied

What could disrupt development of this new feature

Overload of work and over process in the installer team, QA team and other proposals with more priority

Documentation

Later in the day will add another information
