| TheNewAndy | when I install from CD and choose "Install Ubuntu", it goes through all the motions, and finally presents me with a dialog box asking me to restart the computer. | 06:46 |
|---|---|---|
| TheNewAndy | The box only has one option "Restart Now" | 06:46 |
| TheNewAndy | Is there some reason why this box is needed, and it can't just do the restart for me? | 06:46 |
| cjwatson | TheNewAndy: the system often needs a bit of physical care at reboot time anyway (e.g. removing a CD), and I find it less confusing this way (you don't come back to a login screen without any visual confirmation of success, which is important for reassurance since an OS install is a fairly substantial operation) | 09:18 |
| TheNewAndy | fair enough. I figured that there would be some thought behind it, I was just curious :) | 09:19 |
| freevryheid | firefox plugins - should these be installed from firefox or apt - or doesn't it matter? I'm a single (and only) user of my laptop. | 21:08 |
| freevryheid | the same regarding python modules and easy_install | 21:08 |
