CDs are not unmounted during install
Last modified: 2006-03-01 14:16:14 UTC
When the user has to change the media during install the CDs are not unmounted anymore. The user has to hit "auswerfen" (~eject). In former versions it was enough to press the eject button of the CD-ROM-Drive. I have already seen a person not being able to finish the installation, as he did not see the "auswerfen" button in the YaST dialog. I think the CDs should be unmounted so the user is able to normally eject them.
Felix: If you eject the first CD in B4 before the second boot stage, YaST will not ask for the remaining CDs, this is a known feature. However, I'll reassign this issue to Jiri.
When a wrong CD is detected (and the 'change CD' callback is run), the current CD _must_ be released (since we just detected its the wrong one). When the user confirms the callback popup ("ok" button), the (hopefully new ;-)) CD should be attached and verified that it is the right one.
I am not sure whether I expressed myself clearly. This does not just happen if the user inserts a wrong CD. It occured to me after every single CD. After everything from CD1 was installed, the installer asked for CD2. But CD1 could not be ejected with the button on the drive, you had to hit the "eject"-button of the popup asking for CD2.
Yes, you have to hit the eject button at the moment, because yast2 holds it mounted instead of release it. We are working on it.
BTW: You also need 'eject' after assigning the next ISO to VMware - otherwise the change won't be detected.
