</I>for task packages, I think a good presentation on installation would be
something like this :
[]-+-- () all required packages
()-internet
| [] firefox - description
| [] browser2 - desc
| [] thunderbird - desc
| [] email client2 - desc
| [] iceape/seamonkey - desc
()-office suites
| [] libreoffice - desc
| [] office suite2 - desc
[]-other group 1 (can be all selected)
| [] option1 - desc
| [] option2 - desc
()-other group 2 (selectable one at a time)
[] option1 - desc
[] option2 - desc
...
Notes:
- each package not on the dvd would be noted as such.
This should make it easier to deal with more limited space on the dvd.
- () is to open to see more detail, but not a point of selection.
- [] is a check box for selection, which includes the options to the
right/below.
So clicking the top/left box would select everything.
- packages already installed would be shown dim (if shown at all).
- the optional packages would be "suggests".
The idea is that any time a task package is selected, the same
presentation would appear, showing what is already installed, and that
deselecting an installed item would lead to its' uninstallation.
Not an original idea, since some larger Ms-based apps (at least used to)
do this.
Except that in Linux, packages are generally less self-contained and
more interdependant, so this schema would be more advantageous here.
It would give users a lot easier control over what is installed.
It could be applied to some non-task packages as well.
One advantage of this is that we could have only one task-kde, one
task-gnome, etc.
