== Notes on Kubuntu installation == |
|||
=== Boot from CD === |
|||
* Should be a warning that test disk will require a reboot |
|||
=== Install from CD === |
|||
* The Kubuntu logo screen should say what it's doing. |
|||
*: "Now loading enough of the Kubuntu operating system and programs to provide you a graphic installer. (Nothing is yet being installed on your disks" |
|||
* Install progress bar got about 70% of the way then got some screen flickers and then over 30 seconds with a blank gray screen. |

=== In the installer === |

==== Release Notes and web ==== |
|||
Running Konqueror to read the release notes is amazing! |
|||
* Clicking Release Notes takes me to http://www.kubuntu.org/news. But this has ''nothing'' about 9.04 release notes!! It has a news item on 9.04, but that's it. |
|||
* The news item ends with |

*: What's New? |

Kubuntu 9.04 includes an upgraded desktop containing many bug fixes, new configuration options, as well as many new and updated applications. Below are some highlights. |

* The full-screen "Where are you" is impressive. But when I click in the San Francisco Bay Area, it keeps selecting the timezone to the right of it!

If you're going to keep this approach, it should highlight the nearest cities as you hover, or always select the nearest city ''in the same timezone''. I can only select my timezone if I click far away near Vancouver or Los Angeles!! |
|||
* I chose my Keyboard Layout and clicked [Forward]. A small dialog about filesystems briefly flashed and [Back] and [Forward] disabled. Then nothing. My cursor is not spinning, and the page 3 is active, I can type into the test typing box. What happened??! After more than 50 seconds of this no feedback, it advanced to Step 4. |
