Description Tomas Capek 2014-03-03 17:53:31 UTC

Help in anaconda is currently non-existent.

Only the manual partitioning screen contains some help, which is not formatted, contains typos, and is somewhat outdated (for example, "Apply changes" is now "Update Settings").

With the adequate documentation in the Installation Guide, we can have relevant help for every spoke.

This RFE is to provide a help icon to the hub screen and each spoke screen. Upon clicking the icon a dialog should appear with relevant text from IG, properly formatted in HTML just like at the documentation portal.


Vrata already volunteered to work on this in due time :)

Martin,
please see:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1147518#c4

Is anaconda going to provide the help contents ? Currently the built-in help is not available. I'd like to know how this is supposed to work in order to set status of bugs across components accordingly.

If this Feature should be included in the 7.1 Release Notes, could you please change the Doc Type from Enhancement to "Release Note"?

Note that the Release Notes are intended to list the most prominent and customer-relevant new features rather than every single enhancement.

Cheers,
Jirka

Sure, I've switched it to "Release Note" & changed the text a bit to look more like a release note.

I think that this change is quite significant as it has the potential to make the installation easier for many users (by providing relevant and easily accessible documentation).
