Description Tom Wood 2002-10-02 14:47:00 UTC 
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0.1) Gecko/20020830

Description of problem:
Having redhat-config-packages ask for "Psyche 8.0" disk x isn't desirable for
new users.  I highly doubt that many people will be thrown
off the trail by this, but in a distro that's going for mass appeal, it
somehow seems inappropriate.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Launch redhat-config-packages.
2.Add a package.
3.Watch it ask for "Psyche 8.0" disk x
	

Actual Results:  Asked for "Psyche 8.0" disk x

Expected Results:  Should have asked for "Red Hat Linux 8.0 i386" disk x.

Additional info:
Comment 1 Jeremy Katz 2002-10-02 15:02:06 UTC 
redhat-config-packages just reads the information which gets encoded in the
.discinfo file which is a distribution question
Comment 2 Bill Nottingham 2002-10-02 16:08:49 UTC 
Assigning to the package that creates the discinfo file. :)
Comment 3 Michael Fulbright 2002-10-02 19:28:46 UTC 
Which just encodes whatever it is told to do - whoever names the distribution
should pass a user parsable name.
Comment 4 Bill Nottingham 2005-03-01 20:48:44 UTC 
I believe this is fixed in current releases.
Comment 5 Tom Wood 2005-03-03 02:06:15 UTC 
Two and a half years later, I should hope so ;-)
