In testing Soas in Nightly Composes I keep running into a problem with
making the CD as a live CD and including features only needed for a
liveinst install with Anaconda:<br>
<br>
<b>1_) Running as booted LiveCD:</b><br>
Pop up for keychain password is unnecessary :<br>
Current behavior of booting live CD (This occurs on every boot):<br>
boots to Name______ pops up enter keychain password 7+times (does not
appear to work but must be entered at least once to work) then it lets
soas run <a href="http://bugs.sugarlabs.org/ticket/2339"
class="external autonumber" rel="nofollow">[1]</a> f14(Laughlin)
Sugar on a stick 4 Sugar 0.90.0 (Mango Lassi); use of color selector
in CP/about me causes loss of f1 Jabber connectivity <a
href="http://bugs.sugarlabs.org/ticket/2395"
class="external autonumber" rel="nofollow">[2]</a> This occurs if you
do not enter keychain password at 1st pop up login and when doing
restart.<br>
<br>
<b>2_)liveinst to HD (USB/SD):</b><br>
Starting HD install for first time: <br>
Firstboot; smolt; user name and password; login at gdm using user name
and password. Enter password for keychain; F3-ring of sugar.<br>
2nd start of HD;<br>
login at gdm with username and password. Go to f3 Ring Sugar. If you
restart; go to gdm login screen username and password; F3-ring of sugar.<br>
<br>
I suggest it is time to add <b>"Install to HD"</b> as the 2nd line on
the grub boot menu of Soas. This would call liveinst directly (maybe
with a password?)<br>
Then we could have different behavior for the first boot menu line
which is Basically the <br>
<br>
<b>"Try Soas with out touching Hard Drive" </b><br>
<br>
This option is currently offered by Ubuntu, openSUSE-edu, Trisquel etc.<br>
<br>
This would require having a different build for running the LiveCD.
removing; among others?;Keychain; anaconda: firstboot; firstboot-smolt,
from the programs installed for liveCD use.<br>
<br>
We would then be more in line with what other distributions do, and
solve current problems with the .iso builds.<br>
<br>
(An alternative would to be issue 2 Soas.iso's; an install and a live
CD with different builds to address these issues)<br>
