So here's an idea, having the Anaconda UI language selection up front (this is ~60 languages from the lang table), then in the main hub (hub #1) making some default choices in the language & keyboard layout screens based on that choice: http://blog.linuxgrrl.com/2011/07/06/anaconda-language-keyboard-layout-selection/ > > - What key features that happen pre-install do we need here? > > > > (so far, I think it's install vs upgrade, all the storage stuff.... and ?) > > Well, what is the purpose here?

So the idea us designers and Chris have been talking about is having two hubs, hub #1 is for the required essentials, hub #2 is for the stuff that's not required for install. You can fill out hub #2 while the install progresses, or you can fire and forget it, and if you don't touch hub #2 at all, we present it to you as a firstboot UI. So as Will suggested in this thread earlier, firstboot would then also have a hub & spoke UI. It'd be equivalent to the hub #2 UI from anaconda.
