[pve-devel] [PATCH pve_installer] tui-installer: don't aborted install if min requirements not met

[Christoph Heiss]

Good catch, that's indeed a place were the GUI- and TUI-installer
diverge in behavior.

Small comment inline about code structuring.

As subject it's completely sufficient to use "tui: [..]", also; bit of
a typo'd subject in general? :^)

You can move this check into installer_setup_late() directly and use
display_setup_warning(), elimimating has_min_requirements() completely.
It's the appropriate place for non-fatal checks like this, very much
like the HVM support check.

[ Or something along the lines of: move HVM check into
has_min_requirements(), and call that from installer_setup_late(). And
rename it to e.g. check_min_requirements(), to reflect that it does not
return anything. But absolutely optional, just some thoughts of mine. ]
