It imports InstallInterface +from one of several frontend modules. Currently text and GUI are +implemented. The 'anaconda' script imports the InstallInterface +then envokes the 'run' method, providing a todo structure +that needs to be filled in. The information collected in the +InstallInterface portion of the installer is set in the todo +object. When InstallInterface::run exits, the todo object should +have all the needed information to complete an install. +ToDo::doInstall() is invoked, which actually does the work of +installing the system. During the doInstall run, various InstallInterface +methods are called to keep the user informed about the installation +process. These currently include popup windows and package +progress windows. |
