Background

Calamares, in the initial period of Season OF KDE came up with a number of tasks and issues to be solved/completed. My task is to complete/implement as many tasks as possible. Some of them are :

  • Back and Next buttons hide during installation
  • Sending installation log files to Pastebin.com
  • Option for skipping bootloader installation
  • Schema file for shell process
  • Schema file for netinstall

  • Some QT libraries
  • Core C++ concepts (especially lambdas and templates)
  • Bootloaders, File Systems, partition table etc
  • Testing with QT
