[BlueOnyx:00816] Re: Updates to boot choices?

Hi Tony,

Yes, it will come back. Not ETA on it, though, as I'm working on some other 
odds and sods at the moment.

Hmmm ... that's weird. And I guess a BlueOnyx ISO with the extra RAID0 option 
won't help you there either, as it probably won't boot, too.

Yes, it looks like that would be (at this time) the best approach. Am 
currently working on an updated TAR-ball installer. Will be ready in about two 
hours.

If you use the current one, keep two things in mind before you use it:

1.) /home

/home must be a separate partition and it must have quotas enabled. You can 
enable quotas this way:

#  Setup quotas;
   /bin/mount -o remount /home
   /sbin/quotacheck -cuga
   /sbin/quotaon -aug

2.) SELinux

SELinux must be turned off. For that edit /etc/selinux/config and set ...

SELINUX=disabled

Then save the changes and reboot. Reboot after modifying this file is not 
optional; it's mandatory.

3.) Afterwards run the install.sh that comes with the TAR-ball installer.

The revised installer will check for this things prior to running and will 
give these instructions as well if required.
