The following screens will be needed for the 6.1 installer. Each
screen represents some data that must be filled out in the ToDo
object. The ToDo object provides the interface with choices in some
cases. The ToDo object will then do actions based on the information
given by their various InstallInterfaces.
This is a listing of each needed dialog, each bit of data the given
dialog will fill into the ToDo object, and the action the ToDo object
will do with the data.
Language selection
ToDo provides: a list of supported language locales
in: todo.setLanguage('en')
out: todo.writeLanguageConfig() writes /etc/sysconfig/i18n
Keyboard selection
ToDo provides: a list of supported keyboard maps
IN: todo.setKeyboard('us')
OUT: todo.writeKeyboardCfg() writes /etc/sysconfig/keyboard
Time setting/timezeone selection
ToDo provides: a list of valid timezones
IN: todo.setTZ('US/Eastern')
OUT: todo.setupLocaltime() symlinks /etc/localtime
Mouse Configuration
ToDo provides: a list of possible mouse choices
Uses 'isys' module to probe mouse port
IN: todo.setMouse('/dev/ttyS0', 'Generic Mouse (PS/2)')
OUT: todo.writeMouseConfig() writes /etc/sysconfig/mouse
X Configuration
Uses 'isys' module to probe PCI for video card
IN: todo.setXConfiguration('server | cards entry', monitor, [ resolutions ])
OUT: /etc/X11/XF86Config, /etc/X11/X symlink
Disk partitioning
(this one is tricky)
ToDo provides (through libparted): a list of disks objects with lists
of partitions in them.
IN: the InstallInterface modifies the objects passed to it
OUT: todo modifies the filesystems by running the write method of
each disk object
filesystem mounting locations/filesystem init
IN: todo.addMount('hda1', '/', format = 1)
todo.addmount('had2', 'swap', format = 1)
OUT: todo.writeFsTab() writes /etc/fstab
todo.formatFilesystems() formats given filesystems
LILO configuration
IN: todo.liloLocation('hda')
OUT: todo.installLilo() writes /etc/lilo.conf and runs lilo
Bootdisk option
IN: todo.createBootdisk({0,1})
OUT: todo.writeBootdisk() writes boot disk (after prompting user)
Package Component selection (major groups such as 'GNOME')
ToDo provides: a list of 'comps' objects.
IN: todo.comps['Foo'].{un,}select() to select/unselect
OUT: sets 'selected' flags in the todo.hdrlist which translates
to package transaction set during ::doInstall()
Individual Package Selection
ToDo provides: the hdrlist
IN: toggle the selected flag in each member of the hdrlist
OUT: transaction set
Authentication configuration (shadow/md5/yp setup)
IN: todo.setAuthConfig(shadow = 1, md5 = 1, enablenis = 1,
nisdomain = 'devel.redhat.com',
nisserver = 'devserv.devel.redhat.com')
OUT: todo.writeAuthConfig() runs authconfig with the --kickstart
options in the installed system chroot().
Root password
IN: todo.setRootPassword('tclmeRHS', isCrypted=0)
OUT: todo.writePasswd() writes /etc/passwd with the crypt()ed password
Non root user setup
IN: todo.setUserList(list of (user, password, iscrypted))
OUT: todo.writePasswd() writes /etc/passwd with the crypt()ed password
(see root password)
