Bug 99848 – request: ncurses interface for Gentoo Linux Installer

• Product: Gentoo Release Media
• Status: RESOLVED INVALID

[Description alohasurfing 2005-07-21 15:34:02 UTC]

This is actually for a WISH and was told to submit a report for this. My wish is
I hope that as well as myself but that many others would like to see Gentoo get
a Ncurses installer, much like either FreeBSD, Slackware, or Debian where you
are walked through the steps to install instead of having to read from DOCS and
type commands. A ncurses installer done this way will help speed up and simplify
the installation.

Thank you all for your consideration on this, and I hope the people responsible
for making this happen will read this.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. All Installs
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
Installation done by CLI through reading DOCS instead of a installer.

Expected Results:  
Ncurses installer for simplicity and ease of install.

I hope the Gentoo team sees that this is a smart choice to make.

I'd say that this is *in-progress* and it would probably help to make sure there
isn't already a project in the works to do your request before making one next
time... =]
