Adding network installation sources confusing for users
Last modified: 2005-09-26 09:31:29 UTC
Having had to explain it many many times to new users I think the dialogue for adding a new network package source to yast often confuses users who are unsure which part of a URL for a package source should go in which field. eg people often try putting http:// in the server name box along with the server name, or they put the directory also in the server name and are unsure about the second. It would be better imho to have one field where user can paste the whole url to the package source which would behave in the same way as "installation_sources -a" and work out protocol server name and directory without the user needing to know what they mean.
(In reply to comment #0) IMHO novice users will even have problems to understand the questions. What does DHCP, DSL, Modem etc mean. IMHO the detection of this devices should be automated.
Done in SVN trung for 10.1.
