Well, could we have two kinds of installers to boot?

If you want nice effects and such you check a box & if not you just click next.

Both sides then gets their way done.

Since Linux is about opensource & Mageia is built with it, could we just
include programs only based on opensource?

For example:

Gnash instead of Adobe's Flashplayer
Java-1.6.0-openjdk instead of Java-1.6.0-sun

Perhaps an option in the installer to choose between them?

Giving the user that choice is the current Mandriva policy, and I
don't see an intention to change it in Mageia. It's actually stated in
the Mageia Values.

Also...........graphically I feel the installer & its layout is kinda
boring.

Have you compared with other installers to make a better one?

Personally, I *like* my OS installers boring. For the following reasons:
1) I should be using them only rarely
2) when I do, I should focus on what I am doing, not on the looks of
the installer.

So I like a clean-looking installer with a focus on reliability,
functionality, reliability, and more reliability.

Just my tuppence.
