Just a few minor observations.
Background - I have two other distros (Linux Mint and KDE Neon) installed in their own partitions,
and use rEFInd for booting. The install was overwriting a 3rd distro partition, an EXT4 one
that had contained (a not really ever used) ubuntu.
with the KaOS flash drive installed in a USB port, and booting to rEFInd, rEFInd has 3 new items in
its boot screen. All had the KaOS icon. Which one to choose?
The 3 were:
EFI/kiso/kdeosiso.eft from KAOS_EFI
EFI/boot/loader.efi from KAOS_EFI
fallback boot loader from KAOS_EFI
I picked the more normal looking middle one.
rEFInd selection - since I had it already installed, I wasn't sure what to do:
- set for refind, which may install another?
- set for no boot loader, hoping it would use my existing rEFInd?
Not wanting to risk unbootable, I picked rEFInd.
the Overview screen showed my install options were Libreoffice and Pipewire,
even though I had DEselected these. I went back to check and yes, they were
still deselected. (Later, after booting to the installed system, I did find
that, correctly, they were NOT installed.)
on booting after the install, I noticed two things on the rEFInd screen:
a. unlike on booting from the flash drive, rEFInd showed NO KaOS icon, instead using the Penguin.
b. it lost the icon for one of the 2 distros I had already installed (KDE Neon), substituting
the Penguin. (My guess is that this one resulted from a new install of rEFInd.)
Yes, the install did work, and the installer was quite professional looking. Just thought
I should report what I saw.
