Description marafa 2002-08-15 14:25:01 UTC
it would be an easier install to newbie sys admins if the -net switch was added 
to the installation procedure at the very beginning.
ie. the first page of the ui installation program should ask is this :
- local install
- net install (multiple users)
and from there go to the appropriate install screen

thx

Hi Falko,
another enhancement for the setup. I think this is related to the
setup proposal of Dirk.

i don't like the idea of such switch being in the setup UI. It will
confuse ordinary users and sorry for being straightforward:
An admin (even a n00b) should read the installation manual first
before trying to do some advanced installation routines.

Nevertheless there efforts underway to always do a -net install
immediately followed by a user installation.
