Hi Israel,

ToriOs1.5 and OBI:

I asked a friend who has no experience with installing Operating systems to
install ToriOS. And had a look how that went.

He found the OBI button
then the menu popped up and that turned out to be unclear

He picked the first option. Did not have a clue what a tarball supposed to
be in the digital world. :-)
Here he seemed tu run into a brick wall not knowing what to do / try next.

he looked at the menu but the install option didn't seem to register.

I would say change the menu

and only present i, h, t, c, q, r and p or even less if possible. and an
'advanced buton' to go to this complete menu

essential would be to place the i option t the top

Then the second menu
it's not clear somehow that the first option has to be selected. To

As we are in europe the locale menu causes some confusion eventough default
will just be ok.

PAE

installer sees that the VM is PAE capable, and warns it can take long
depending on connection speed.

if someone doesn't know what PAE is then this causes FUD. :)

rpcbind gave a failed message

select device for bootloader menu
seems clear to me but for a novice user its not clear what action is
expected.

however i don't know how to make it better.

reboot

menu install browser / firefox
this one works just fine :-) even for a noob who just got used to this menu
system :))) slowly overcoming the FUD

update

menu disapeared, a bit unexpected but no big deal

Panels

trying to add a panel at the bottom but also in 1.5 this fails

change theme

this looks a bit strange
I choose Ambiance, but actually making the selection felt odd.

and then the most of the menu is gone, also the reload menu button does not
help to bring it back

only options are
about ToriOS
Reload Desktop
Shutdown

reboot

after reboot still no menu

hmmmm

cant open a terminal since there is no menu

i can send key in VMM ctrl+alt+f1

mouse gone could not go back to main system had to go into ctrl+alt+f1 on
main machine to kill the VM

so i can't do much to lookup the files that you requested as i need to kill
the machine to get back to this textfile..

I defenately can see many improvements to the ToriOS1.0 ISO. But the main
issue still seems to be present.

Loosing the menu and not getting it back
AND
i just noticed
if i right click on the desktop i get kicked out and i need to login again
and this keeps happening, rightclick-> POOF logged outof the GUI

i hope this helps in any way

Kind regards

Mano
