[RULE] Slinky 0.4.7 first test

[Richard Kweskin]

Hello All

This first go leaves the config file with Slinky 0.4.7 unchanged, the minimum pack list option is yes, and no documentation is yes. Method was cdrom.

Booted with linux ide=nodma (didn't seem to matter.) Install was ok and subsequent reboot was ok. Here are the noteworthy bits:

1 - Warnings on rpmnew and rpmorig - significant?
2 - Warnings on scriplet failures - significant?
3 - Only by going to tty2 just before responding to whether to install lilo and editing /etc/lilo.conf in order to add (essential in this case) append="ide=nodma". Suggestion: put this as default since it's easy to take out afterwards. The reverse results in endless delays until the conf file is edited & lilo invoked.
4 - kudzu is not on by default. Suggestion: mention this in the dialogue of install so user is aware.
5 - No attempt is made to explain what "minimal" means. Suggestion: breaking pack lists down by use as Slinky 0.5.0 gives more power to user.
6 - Some options are eliminated by default in config file and user might not know, e.g. locales. Suggestion: mention this somewhere.
7 - Default timezone is est. Suggestion: mention this somewhere.

What follows are readouts of (a) test form (b) dmesg (c) df -h (d) free

The install log is a seperate posting.
