Everybody else is surely able to understand the word "Custom"<br> +> which opens the door to everything else. The next screen offers a<br> +> package selection which allows for installation of whole groups (or<br> +> non-installation). This same screen opens the door to the minimal<br> +> installation options (if you deselect all package groups). It also<br> +> shows the option "Individual package selection".<br> +><br> +> To me this is a logical procedure (one step following the selection of<br> +> the previous step).<br> +><br> +> Of course Mageia could put something like "Clicking OK will start the<br> +> installation" below the KDE and Gnome options or something similar.<br> +><br> +> About the partitioning:<br> +><br> +> What exactly do you miss there (you have seen the "expert" button?) ?<br> +><br> +> IMHO there is nothing missing or at presented at the wrong state of<br> +> the installation procedure.<br> +><br> +> --<br> +> wobo<br></p> +<p>In the specific case i mentionned, there is a risc of loosing data, so i think that it is usefull to prevent.

To prevent other users, in the greek translation i add the 'formatting (delete data)'</p> +<p>For "us" there is no risc. Because we install a system many times. The scenario that i describe could happen if you do an installation for the first time or if you are not used to do it often.</p> +<p>Personaly i dont care, it is very clear for me, but i remember my first time when i "felt" that a confirmation was missing.</p> |
