The installer completed page now contains information on next steps, so ...

sorry @huslage I've gone and made the video mildly out of date again.

@SvenDowideit this LGTM but I'm really curious: why are we still using busybox for testing successful installations (i.e., instead of Ubuntu, and the agreement to uniform the procedure across the docs as well)? Thanks!

[SvenDowideit]

I keep using busybox because on my internet connection, it takes about a minute to download, whereas docker pulling ubuntu takes over 15minutes - which is pretty useless for a Hello World test to show that the install works.

You're right, but its too late to change for the 1.1.0 installer release.

I think I'll go get @tianon to make me a helloworld image on stackbrew in asm ala tianon/true

[tianon]

Hah, just use "tianon/true" for all your testing!

More seriously though, as an outside observer (IANTM), I think sticking to Ubuntu+bash is much better for helping people grasp what it is that Docker's doing, since I'd wager that a very large number of people have no idea what "busybox" is, unless they've done some embedded work where a teeny tiny shell/userspace was required, and you don't want to be trying to explain what "busybox" is when you're in the middle of explaining what "Docker" itself is.

[SvenDowideit]

@tianon y, thats why we made that decision - this was a finger memory thing - because I'm running this test many many times as I'm testing boot2docker, and it needs to be downloaded for each fresh install. I'm pretty serious about the helloworld image - something that will say 'you docker is good, and can pull images' without taking so long that the user has moved away to work on non-docker things.

[jamtur01]

What's the status of this? Can we closed?

[SvenDowideit]

the status is waiting for LGTM's - its documenting the reality of the current installer release.

[jamtur01]

The only change I'll see is the image replacement? Is that right?

[fredlf]

@SvenDowideit I don't understand the first bullet point on the new screen. Are you telling people how to quickly start with b2d? There's some context missing.

If you can copy the text into here, I can revise it for you.

[SvenDowideit]

@jamtur01 correct. Though as we're about to do a 1.1.1, I'll change the text to use ubuntu, and give @fredlf a chance to revise my words :)

fred: https://github.com/boot2docker/osx-installer/blob/master/mpkg/Resources/en.lproj/Installed.html

yes, this is right at the end of the installer, to tell them what next.

[SvenDowideit]

okely, @jamtur01 @fredlf @ostezer please see the 1.1.1 version of the image :)

[jamtur01]

LGTM

[fredlf]

LGTM, though I can tweak that text a little more after not looking at it for a few days.

1. Make the first bullet into two sentences:
   "Run Boot2Docker (located in Applications), which will open a terminal. Then, start a test container with: ..."
2. We can cut "from your terminal" in the second bullet. Seems unnecessary.

[SvenDowideit]

@fredlf not now :) it'll be beginning of next month when there's a new release.

That said - yes, make a PR and I'll merge it

[fredlf]

PR made!
