Like this, no matter what +the desktop is chosen (KDE, Gnome, or a lighter variety), the new user +would have full access to common configuration tools. + +There should also be links to the wiki for more details, and to the +support forums. +Note that the user will not necessarily have Internet access when using +the welcome centre, so that the welcome centre should be complete enough +to enable basic configuration. + +Also note that already the Mandriva installation cd/dvd's have a fairly +complete set of basic configuration options, which are not necessarily +fully understood at this point. +So the welcome centre should be an opportunity to refine such +configuration, with all the information necessary for both beginner and +advanced users, for basic configuration. But again, with the actual +configuration handled by the existing MCC. + +Note that the different desktops favour different applications, and +users may have different applications installed. +So the welcome centre should adapt to the differences, so this tool +should be carefully developped with this in mind. The Linux +environnement is one of choice, not the "one-size-fits-all" mentality of +the Microsoft world. + +my 2 cents :) + +- André (andre999) +</PRE> + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +<!--endarticle--> + <HR> + <P><UL> + <!--threads--> + <LI>Previous message: <A HREF="000493.html">[Mageia-dev] What do you think about create a Mageia WelcomeCenter? +</A></li> + <LI>Next message: <A HREF="000497.html">[Mageia-dev] Can Firefox be included in Mageia? +</A></li> + <LI> <B>Messages sorted by:</B> + <a href="date.html#494">[ date ]</a> + <a href="thread.html#494">[ thread ]</a> + <a href="subject.html#494">[ subject ]</a> + <a href="author.html#494">[ author ]</a> + </LI> + </UL> + +<hr> +<a href="https://www.mageia.org/mailman/listinfo/mageia-dev">More information about the Mageia-dev +mailing list</a><br> +</body></html> |
