First install report
« on: January 08, 2010, 04:52:52 am »
Dear All

I Just finished my first installation process.
The system is :
a. eBox version = 1.2.3
b. Packages : ebox-samba, ebox-printers, ebox-egroupware, ebox-antivirus, ebox-ebackup, ebox-software, ebox-monitor, ebox-firewall, ebox-squid, ebox-network, ebox-trafficshaping, ebox-dhcp, ebox-dns

I have one thing to suggest and one error report.

1. Suggestion : repack/restructure the installation process, i mean :
a. The "repository mirror scan" is very time consuming.
b. the packages download will also time consuming.

Well .. I have verry limited internet connection.
I have to let my box to download the installer ISO.
the next morning I came to my office ... I try to do installation using this ISO, and wish it will not need to download additional file from internet.

I think it'll be great if the installer ISO is preloaded with all needed package, and the installer sequence just get the files from that CD.
I'm pretty sure that this will be greate for any people that just do their first dirty jump to ebox-platform

2. Error msg :
I try to change the date and time from web interface , and I got this error msg :

Code: [Select]
A really nasty bug has occurred
Exception
Can't locate object method "restartService" via package "EBox::SysInfo"
Trace
Can't locate object method "restartService" via package "EBox::SysInfo" at /usr/share/perl5/EBox/NTP.pm line 328.

I'm still optimist with ebox-platform.
keep up the great work

note : I've question about features, but I'll post it in different thread

Sincerely
