New Re: Teaching, and installing, Linux
Well, you see the GUI/Pretty install Can be JUST that simple. Just take the defaults and let it determine the FS partitions and all.

Now, if you want Dual boot, then you ain't wanting a "No-Brainer Install"™.

Yeah, you gotta answer a few questions, but overall, they ain't really bad.

Now, for the CIO... easy-cheesy... modify the syslinux.cfg (on the CD with re-burn or Bootdisk) and pass on the param's from there...

OMG, hrumph... I wonder if in fact RH could make it that easy themselves. I KNOW THEY COULD.

*note to self*: Contact RH install group via e-mail on Monday. And keep on it.

New RH 7.1 is close to that IIRC
There are predetermined partition layouts when you select workstation or server install. The rest of the install decisions are pretty minimal too; autodetected video, network settings, and locale I think.

It’s merely anecdotal, but someone who can severely misconstrue the meaning of “Green Eggs and Ham” has no business being considered smart.
