-workstation install
-use diskdruid
-low memory machine must enable swap -> yes (try linux mem=16M)
-select partitions to format -> go back
-get low memory machine screen again, must select no to actually go back,
 yes returns to the select partitions to install screen.

Comment 4 Michael Fulbright 2000-10-23 20:05:30 UTC
This is true in the text mode and graphical mode install?

Comment 5 Hans de Goede 2000-10-23 20:53:44 UTC
Ehm lowmemory = auto textmode afaik. This is a long time ago so I'm not sure but
its easy to reproduce.


Comment 6 Brent Fox 2000-12-04 20:13:32 UTC
Right...if machine doesn't has low memory, text mode is forced.

Comment 7 Brent Fox 2000-12-04 20:21:01 UTC
Fixed in CVS.  I replaced the label on the "No" button to "Back" so that the
label more clearly represents what the button does.

Comment 8 Hans de Goede 2000-12-05 08:33:41 UTC
Ok, that clears things up, but what is the use of showing that dialog when goign
back anyway, the user can't change anything their.

IMHO the yes / no was corrected and the dialog should be skipped when goping
back.

This is a pop-up dialog, not a screen with user input like the others and it is
a special case.

Then again just adding back makes sense too, and doesn't introduce a whole new
set of bugs.

p.s.

Could you take a look at bug 14553 please, it is somewhat related, and has been
closed as to hard to fix :(

using qa1211.0 test tree, the dialog box is NOT changed:

yes, no are the only choices at the screen ...

Comment 10 Brent Fox 2001-01-02 21:05:08 UTC
Fixed in cvs now.  Brock, please test again.

Comment 11 Brock Organ 2001-01-09 19:22:43 UTC
verified fix in qa0109.0 ...
