Yep, I do ;-) It's the sort of UI atrocity that we've really tried to avoid on that screen. If we can't kill of the screen entirely (+ interactive package selection), maybe another idea would be radio buttons to choose between a few pre-cooked selections. Then you could have ( ) Minimal (hi. I am just a command line. please don't choose me) ( ) Graphical Desktop (defaults of today) ( ) Desktop developer (today + software development) ( ) Web server (probably basic desktop + web bits) By being radio buttons, there's no question of combining. Yes, it means it kind of sucks if you want a web server + desktop development, but you can do that later - Jeremy _______________________________________________ Anaconda-devel-list mailing list Anaconda-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/anaconda-devel-list
