Description Mark Hatle 2013-03-21 15:05:22 UTC 
The current user experience of doing an on-target system install is not adequate.  A new method will need to be designed and implemented.

One suggestion is to look at the Fedora and Ubuntu systems as examples of an improved user experience.

Note:  I don't expect going from what we have today to what Fedora or Ubuntu have today in a single release.

This enhancement request is designed to capture the work required to start the gradual improvement of on-target installation.

Saul, please work with Mark and Darren on design and assignment.
Comment 2 Chen Qi 2013-08-05 04:52:07 UTC 
Starting out to investigate possible ways to achieve this.
Comment 3 Chen Qi 2013-08-16 02:20:28 UTC 
This bug involves a lot of work, and it should serve as an umbrella bug.

Move it to 1.5 M5.

Also, I'm gonna open new bugs to track more specific work.

So since the two dependencies of this bug have been marked resolved I'm marking this one as resolved. Obviously there is still work to do on the installer; if we have specific improvements to make there let's open up concrete bugs to cover those.
