Talk:Build Checklists

notes from charles:

• login with username needs to be better formatted
• update software needs to know that unauthenticated packages FROM FREEGEEK are okay.
• grantboxes could have the modem icon removed from the title bar
• basiccheck mem test needs to tell user about the memory that is stolen by the motherboard
• use lsusb to test usb devices (to be able to use devices other than mice)
• note what to do with paperwork, boxes, &c.
• instructions on boxes without paperwork (for QCing)
• keep mp3 disks out

blaine noticed:

• could the step regarding spec checking go sooner and be more explicit?
• Could some of the early qc steps be added to the build sheet?

blaine's ideas on basiccheck:

• Move screen resolution to first check in basiccheck?
• Make cdrom check hdc and hdd only
• No longer use Pentium I, Pentium II or K6-2 in cpuinfo check in basiccheck
• Clearer explanation of when IRQ conflicts matter.
• Clearer explanation of what to look for with the floppy test.

macmobile suggests:

• Add enter password to the 4reboots section of QC.
