Special features needed
From MEPIS Documentation Wiki
Please consider adding these features:
Installer feature requests:
- Custom Install/Minimum install It would be nice to be able to choose which packages to install (or not) to hdd, so a Minimal/Basic install is possible (with or without KDE)
- Encrypted partition option would be a great addition to the installer:
- Luks-dmCrypt for /home: the Luks homepage and a how to on saout.de
- AES for swap: a how to on riseup.net
- Raid option on install Definitely WITH the encrypted partitions option above!
- Split install across multiple hard drives Say system on hda, swap on hdb and home sda as an example.
- Find packages added by hand in old system, as described in Which packages did I add?, and propose their re-installation in the new system (e.g. mark candidates in Synaptic). (Also consider changing /etc/logrotate.d/dpkg in such a way that /var/log/dpkg.log is kept much longer.)
