+I like that too. But (not limited to this, but related to the issue of
+questions asked by the installer in general):
+
+If a question is asked, there should also be a couple of words
+explaining what the consequence of different replies is. Trying to
+assess alternatives to Mandriva, I have done first-time installs of a
+lot of &quot;new&quot; distributions these last months: it is painful to be fired
+at with a question where you have to make an educated guess on the
+consequences and the ramifications of your reply (example: do you want
+to verify your CDROM - if you say yes, you will be faced with a long
+period of waiting. Some distros provide info on this question, others dont).
+
+My recommendation: make it a principle that questions from the installer
+come with a short explanation (evidently, there are exceptions).
