Installer can't count
Last modified: 2006-04-15 18:55:16 UTC
I just installed RC1 from the 5 CDs, and I notice that the installer gives a pretty poor first impression because it apparently can't count :-). The Column labeled "Packages" in the install screen that counts down as packages are being installed goes to "Done", yet several more packages continue to be installed from the CD before it finally asks for the next CD (then the same thing happens again). Unlike the "Packages" column, the "Size" column is apparently accurate, not going to "Done" till the last rpm is actually installed. When it hits CD5, the top line for Total has a smaller package count than the remaining packages on CD5 itself (though once again, the Size column matches). If I were installing SUSE on my mission critical banking transaction server, the fact the the installer can't even count accurately would certainly give me pause :-).
That's a known "feature" :-/ *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 155283 ***
