Install FreeBSD utility is buried (and not adequately documented)

Open jordanhubbard opened this issue 4 years ago • 2 comments

Describe the bug See https://hellosystem.github.io/docs/user/getting-started.html

It references "use the FreeBSD installation utility" but does not explain where this actually is. After searching, it is revealed under System -> Applications -> Utilities which is unnecessarily buried for a user who has booted the ISO in order to actually install the OS.

To Reproduce See above. Just boot the ISO and you will see a blank screen with no obvious next step.

Expected behavior See how Ubuntu Desktop or any other Linux installer works. You boot the ISO, it jumps you to the installation utility. Easy.

Screenshots If applicable, add screenshots to help explain your problem.

Version (please complete the following information):

  • Live ISO - the only one advertised for 0.7
  • Running in a virtual machine: Yes, but not relevant to this issue.

Computer (please complete the following information):

  • Device: [e.g., Dell Inc. OptiPlex 780]

Additional context Add any other context about the problem here.

Thanks @jordanhubbard. As a quick fix I have added the full path to the documentation. The installer can also be reached by clicking on "Search" in the menu bar and typing "inst"...

TODO: Consider symlinking the installer to /Applications/Autostart on the Live ISO. (Remove this at install time.)
