The +</I>><i> type install screen with KDE vs Gnome vs custom has no intermediate step +</I>><i> prior to the start of selected packages installation. Does this bother +</I>><i> no one else? +</I> +While a moot point for mga2 as others have said, I'd prefer not to have +an extra confirmation here. "Extra Clicks" are things UI people try to +reduce and for good reason. You don't want people being "click happy" +and ignore anything that is said to them (i.e. the privilege escalation +dialogue in Windows Vista). + +I do accept that more clarity is maybe needed so if you pick one of the +predefined sets (Gnome or KDE) perhaps the button should say "Start +Installation" rather than "Next"? When you select "Custom" it should +instead read "Customise". That requires no extra clicks or confirmations +but should increase clarity to a level you'll be happy with. + + +><i> 2-There are no formatting options offered for /. Since I virtually +</I>><i> always install to a multiboot system, I require maximum +</I>><i> cross-installation compatibility. I can't have inode sizes, UUIDs and +</I>><i> volume labels changed willy nilly without having to go back and +</I>><i> reconfigure every other installation to conform to needless changes made +</I>><i> by a new installation. Format step really ought to offer selectable +</I>><i> format options so that an existing UUID, LABEL and/or Inode size could +</I>><i> be preserved and yet the / target really be empty. +</I> +This seems a very different point to the topic/subject of your mail.
