s/cann/call/ Realistically, nfsiso is more and more the preferred method instead of NFS tree installs. We'll look at what we can do as far as the wording here to try to make things clearer and more consistent. Fixed the wording on head since the F7 string freeze is coming up very soon. |
Description of problem: The Installation Method uses the term 'NFS image'. What's an NFS image? - The same thing we cann an install tree? Then why don't we say FTP image or HTTP image? - ISOs on an http server? No, I'm doing an install here using a file tree. I've been using Red Hat since 5.0, and work for the company. I'm still confused. How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Install from the network Actual results: Wonder what an NFS image is, and if that's the right option for using files on your NFS server, even though they're not really images of any kind. Within GLS, this confuses users of other operating systems (even UNIX-based OSs) who are new to Linux. Expected results: 'NFS server' 'FTP server' 'web server' ('HTTP server' might be technically more consistant with the other options, but web server is just as correct and more understandable, particularly for non-English speakers or others new to the platform).
