Replacement for "AROS Installer"

[polluks]

How about replacing this tool by an installer script?
Of course we need some kind of partition management, maybe a special HDToolbox mode?

[sodero]

It's probably possible to do that if we extend InstallerLG slightly. There seems to be lots of knowledge / history embedded in the current solution though. To succeed with this (without spending to much time), we probably need someone familiar with the current tool to give it a go and sum up everything that needs to be done on InstallerLG.

Someone? Use the source, Luke! :-)

$ grep STEP main.c
    /* STEP : FORMAT */
    /* STEP : LOCALE */
    /* STEP : COPY CORE */
    /* STEP : COPY EXTRAS */
    /* STEP : COPY DEVELOPER FILES */
    /* STEP : INSTALL BOOTLOADER */
    /* STEP : PACKAGE CLEANUP */
    /* STEP : CREATE ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES THAT POINT TO INSTALLATION LOCATIONS */
    /* STEP : EXECUTE EXTERNAL POST-INSTALL SCRIPT */
    /* STEP : UNDORECORD CLEANUP */

Oh, doesn't look so bad after all. I'll probably look into this once I'm pleased with InstallerLG itself.

Does that mean that you're working on it?

Just playing around with InstallerGen :)

Some progress

Great! You might be interested in the new V44 features as well. Like (effect) and (showmedia). Regards, Ola Den tors 21 feb. 2019 kl 10:58 skrev Stefan <notifications@github.com>:

The left window is made by (showmedia) ;-)
However the default button is lost, maybe because of the radio buttons?

[sodero]

You mean the 'back' button? Den tors 21 feb. 2019 kl 13:37 skrev Stefan <notifications@github.com>:

Aha, no you mean that 'Proceed' isn't activated so that you can proceed using 'enter'? Den tors 21 feb. 2019 kl 15:33 skrev rolfkopman <rolfkopman@gmail.com>:

If so, that's a bug of course. Will look into it. Den tors 21 feb. 2019 kl 15:34 skrev rolfkopman <rolfkopman@gmail.com>:

@sodero The cause is the progress bar!

[sodero]

Great! Or, not so great, but it's great that we know the cause :) Br, Ola Den fre 22 feb. 2019 kl 02:21 skrev Stefan <notifications@github.com>:
