It's easy to give feedback; it's hard to write something that works. Thank you for writing something that works! > * It would be great if you could try to find out why your wireless failed. I'll look into it. FWIW, the following DOES work for setting up my wireless from the (usual release) installation image (I know WEP is insecure, but I use it for certain reasons that are not related to the topic of this email thread): =2D-8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- config_file=3D"$(mktemp --tmpdir wireless-XXXXX.cfg)" trap "rm -f $config_file" EXIT cat > "$config_file" << EOM network=3D{ ssid=3D"my-network-id" key_mgmt=3DNONE wep_key0=3Dmy-wep-key } EOM wpa_supplicant -i wlp2s0 -c "$config_file" -B dhclient -v wlp2s0 =2D-8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- Does your installer assume a specific (non-WEP) wireless encryption protocol? That might explain the issue. > * What would you suggest instead of the "Reboot" message? I think the USB stick needs to be mounted in order for the system to function, right? So it seems like we can't unmount it before rebooting... I know that Ubuntu's installer ejects the installation CD and asks the user to remove it and then reboot, so it must be possible to arrange for the media to be physically removed without crashing the system. I'm not sure how to do that, though. Until that's figured out, maybe just say something like: "To avoid accidentally booting into the installation media, please shut down the computer, remove the installation media, and turn the computer back on." How's that? Too verbose? Anyway, thanks again for the installer. It's really nice! =2D-=20 Chris --=-=-= Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQIzBAEBCAAdFiEEy/WXVcvn5+/vGD+x3UCaFdgiRp0FAlh7PvgACgkQ3UCaFdgi Rp0kNw//eVGoLr6r0TV8wBihx5Ah1mPftcaaeGlyZvpCc67zdq0mA3Kz5OkvBqfV 73k9lAdCsd/9klTJgMaT+2Sxo9ClYQLWGGtDlwI5/w4LfGKojVJUoqH0/7BlOSyh yGR4t1yDOqws01CBmVnHsH16vg2PJuMEr1GcCOs8YW7ueq1I7XlB33lQytZOUSTx Qm7tZ2E4/FvMICpkU7McLIudy50Shj9WY3nYDB2Mtf59aRUEGI5cR9ZZXN9BnN1m bbkowzo+G5TCp/JAJ2I0F6RJkC49+IfoZfYUjCXC5V1tuFyDBYC2RJZQ4QmEqeJV IVT7tyotbdakt0KuBlunOWZR/8dhZLw4U3mG+TZEHQ02wdO4kYFO9k3fSfZovzGg DgC7y5UZ+Pz8hxmfSfzKGThP6lNPV7Xp3rKhoOGBUerZqd7y9ONXgqje1XcZa39h wm2C0fgT3YpyFpTybXwpjj+D0J9Zo+Er+x4sNwQoF/hj7ba52ISx2QAanPQQgQN8 lSV00YknK9TDTaRXGGJDnUZvz6SWsBtU6gXW3Q/gwSf33IoU9ZXa4TnLDKE2f7Xp 9Y/BJ1waBC/Vm4UNzOFBwrMcbX0MmondWPOiT9bWv8Km++Ilym++K5fc0n3weruO rVHmYakUokdgm538eYJ1Spj1zo7nfW/9jetOXsrjFOeQo6fzvNo= =UOVF -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-=-=--
