Enable FastStart installations on CentOS Desktop machines #53

Open eucacolby opened 10 years ago

eucacolby commented 10 years ago

FastStart installer currently support only CentOS 6.5 "Minimal Server" environments. However, it appears many users are attempting FastStart on CentOS Desktop environments. Prospective users may be inadvertently installing the "wrong" OS environment simply because the Desktop .iso is so often promoted.

The request is to enable FastStart to install on Desktop environments.

It is known that successful installation and operation of FastStart installed Eucalyptus requires disabling NetworkManager - which is installed with Desktop. It is known that disabling this would disable CentOS features that provide "easy networking".

The expectation is that users weren't intending to use the CentOS Desktop environment per se, but simply meant to install CentOS to run a Eucalyptus cloud. Therefore, the installer should support this option.

The installer should, of course, warn the user that NetworkManager will be disabled and briefly describe the impact. The user may then optionally continue or quit the install.
