This is to keep track of what needs to be updated *after* the 2007.0 release (don't want to change the template before then). Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce:
thanks to 'cam for this first one: cam` #: gli-dialog.py:310 cam` msgid "ERROR: Could net set mounts!"
Case problem : LIVECD => LiveCD #: gli-dialog.py:219 msgid "" "If you want to be able to login to your machine from another console during the installation,\n" "\tyou will want to enter a new root password for the LIVECD.\n" "\tNote that this can be different from your new system's root password.\n" "\tPresss Enter twice to skip this step.\n" "\tEnter the new LIVECD root password (will not be echoed):\t" #: gli-dialog.py:227 msgid "Enter the new LIVECD root password again to verify:" uri => URI #: gli-dialog.py:1390 msgid "Incorrect HTTP Proxy!

Case problem : livecd => LiveCD #: gli-dialog.py:707 msgid "Which method do you want to use to sync the portage tree for the installation? If choosing a snapshot you will need to provide the URI for the snapshot if it is not on the livecd."
Strange sentences ... isn't it possible to re-write it ? #: gli-dialog.py:1011 msgid "Type your own name of a file to edit in /etc/" missing "/" ? #: gli-dialog.py:1031 msgid "ERROR! Could not set etc/portage/* correctly!" Missing a space a the end of the string #: gli-dialog.py:742 msgid "" "The installer will now gather information regarding the contents of /etc/make.conf\n" "\tOne of the unique (and best) features of Gentoo is the ability to\n" "\tdefine flags (called USE flags) that define what components are \n" "\tcompiled into applications. For example, you can enable the alsa\n" "\tflag and programs that have alsa capability will use it. \n" "\tThe result is a finely tuned OS with no unnecessary components to\n" "\tslow you down.\n" "\tThe installer divides USE flag selection into two screens, one for\n" "\tglobal USE flags and one for local flags specific to each program.\n" "\tPlease be patient while the screens load. It may take awhile."
The installer said that the Gentoo Kernel Team is doing useless work or I didn't understood ... Is it a mistake ? This is coming from : http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/gentoo-kernel.xml :: gentoo-sources is a kernel based on Linux 2.6, lightly patched to fix security problems, kernel bugs, and to increase compatibility with the more uncommon system architectures. Linux 2.6 is the current official stable kernel tree, and development is progressing rapidly. For highest performance, best hardware support, and its large new feature set, we recommend 2.6 over its older 2.4 counterpart. This is coming from the GLI : #: gli-dialog.py:1039 msgid "The Unaltered Linux Kernel ver 2.6+ (safest)" #: gli-dialog.py:1040 msgid "Gentoo's optimized 2.6+ kernel. (less safe)" -------------- What does it mean ? 1 - Traditionaly Gentoo is using GRUB isn't it ? 2 - write that LILO can read windows partitions is useless, GRUB can do it too ... #: gli-dialog.py:1108 msgid "LInux LOader, older, traditional.(detects windows partitions)" #: gli-dialog.py:1104 #: gli-dialog.py:1106 msgid "GRand Unified Bootloader, newer, RECOMMENDED" -------------- Perhaps could it be a good Idea to re-think sentences more like a non-advanced user would.
by "detects windows partitions" i mean that the installer will detect and configure windows partitions into Lilo, but not Grub yet. It may exist but is not stable.
(In reply to comment #6) > by "detects windows partitions" i mean that the installer will detect and > configure windows partitions into Lilo, but not Grub yet. It may exist but is > not stable So you're talking about the GLI abaility ? Does the Gentoo politic change in the 2007 version ? Isn't Gentoo traditionnaly using GRUB ?
The installer is deprecated.
