## beta 9

Wed Feb 06, 2013 8:59 pm

I have downloaded beta 9 and before I burned it I got a message saying it has a bug.
Is a beta10 release planned?
Or should I burn beta 9 anyway?

message from where? Did you check the md5 sum? beta9 runs fine here, live and installed.

The message was a pm from me. The bug is in refractainstaller-9.0.7, and it's fixed in 9.0.8. If you don't want to download and install the new deb, AND you choose Expert install, then you should also choose to change the hostname.
Note that you don't have to actually change the hostname, you can keep the default, but the default wasn't getting set on Expert install unless you chose that option.
Go ahead and burn it. It might be a week or two or even more before I make a new iso. See the release notes on how to get the updated debs from github. The repo is cloned on the CD, and it's just a couple of commands to get the new ones.

## beta 9 .

Thu Feb 07, 2013 5:17 am

dzz sorry about the confusion. I wasn't able to reply to fsmithreds/ PM the other evening , so I assumed it was a general notice (no reply) message sent to everyone.
edit
The note just asked if setting / changing hostname are the same steps as it is in debian.
the firs time I submitted this post it was forbidden too.
editedit Looks like the forum doesn't like that code block for setting hostname in debian.

Paranoid forum settings that I can't change won't let you post a path that begins with a slash followed by "etc". Maybe other things, too.
Orvitux - Choose expert install, and you will see the checklist of options shown in the screenshots. There is an option to change the username, but not one to add a second user. The program will ask you to change the root password after it copies the filesystem. You don't have to change it, but you can't stop the program from asking.
http://distro.ibiblio.org/refracta/scre ... ptions.png
If you want a second user, run 'adduser' in a root terminal or select "Users and Groups" from the system menu and click on "Add".
If you want to change a user's name after installation, run 'change-username' from a root console. From the desktop, hit ctrl-alt-F1, then log in as root and run that command. If you run it without any command-line options, it'll tell you what the proper syntax is.

I don't know whether that's the answer because for the life of me, I couldn't understand the question.

I think LOL he's looking for an easier installer, just guessing, maybe it's time to do a video of tacking a snapshot and installing the snapshot?.
Instead of what I done with just screen dumps do a proper video of refracta, and Anthony's much tweaked remstersys installer, when your choosing a partition it displays the labels as well which is a big help for folks.
Oddly enough I'm sure I did an install with Anthony's installer on a refracta snapshot, I'll try again to confirm.
