Description of problem: * The blue underlined interdocument links in the release notes does not work (for instance, nothing happens when I click an entry in the table of contents). * The release notes does not list FC4 as a Fedora Legancy Project. * If I select "VIEW RELEASE NOTES" while the files copies themselves the installer appears to hang at completion because the "CONGRATULATIONS" screen is hidden behind the release notes (ideally some type of messagebox should appear here? it was very confusing). * Before anaconda GUI starts there is a text-based media test etc. This media test MUST get a proper cancel button. Any process that lengthy should have a cancel button imho. While installing many FC5 for a lab or something it's very easy to accidently click TEST instead of SKIP (which is of course undescribably annoying) * At the very first stage when the GUI mode is initiated I saw that old horrible curosr which looks like an X. I believe this is some kind of default cursor for X windowing system itself or something. Anyway, this cursor reminds me of buggy slackware installs and it generally sends shivers down my spine. That cursor make me feel like FC5 is just something built on-top of something really really out-of-date. I know this is not the case, but feelings are important. It's kind of the same feeling you got in Windows 95 when you saw DOS booting first and then the GUI appeared. It's like if it's something bad/old/evil underneath all that good stuff. Suggested fix: make X use some other modern fresh default cursor when it starts. Please split, move and/or forward these issues if needed.
Filing multiple issues in one bug report makes it very difficult to actually address things. * Release notes links -- see the discussion on fedora-devel-list; we're planning on doing something to address this for FC6 * FC4 is not yet maintained by Legacy * The release notes buffer during installation is already filed separately * Mediacheck should always be run. Cancel doesn't make sense * Please file a separate bug against X if you think the default cursors should change. It's not something that can be changed just within anaconda
Why is there an option to "SKIP" the mediacheck if it should never be used. There are many cases where you have already completed the media check once for that particular CD/DVD but you reuse it to install on many workstations. This is a typical situation when you use the "SKIP" button. After doing say 30-40 installs you typically get a little bit tired and you just keep pressing RETURN whenever _any_ dialog appears. It's in this situation people accidently activate the media check and subsequently look for a CANCEL button which does not exists. I don't understand what you mean by "The release notes buffer during installation is already filed separately". Can you explain further? And I repeat what I said earlier: If I select "VIEW RELEASE NOTES" while the files copies themselves the installer appears to hang at completion because the "CONGRATULATIONS" screen is hidden behind the release notes (ideally some type of messagebox should appear here? it was very confusing).
