I love this tool, with frugal installer - now I finally have Puppy on (ext3) HD, using a frugal install.
Windows always made this a problem, until now.
Anyway.. about easy of use/usability...
I think the grub4dosconfig (and frugal installer) utility should use tooltips on the checkboxes, buttons etc in the GUI..
They are easy to add to gtkdialog GUIs and very important for novice users (and idiots like me).
Something like:
Code: Select all
# set tooltips
SEARCH_ONLY='search only this drive for puppy installs'
...
# build gui
'<checkbox tooltip-text="'$SEARCH_ONLY'">'
...
I thought this meant for MBRs... Even though the list above shows the MBRs that were found
Therefore, when I clicked 'search only this drive', the installer found no frugal installs, and therefore there was no Puppy entry in my menu.lst..
Not a problem for me luckily, as I realised my error and can fix it.. But tooltips would solve these kind of 'issue' for novices
