I don't know that this has actually been tested yet.

Tab works as I expect it both on the initial welcome language screen, as well as the language spoke off the first hub.

Right, progress indicators are really hard to do and are a never-ending source of bugs. They're especially hard to do for things that involve the network. Additionally, feedback we've gotten in the past says we have way too many popups. So the idea here is that you can go do other stuff while long-running tasks work themselves out which makes progress indicators a little less helpful. > The left box (Desktop) of Installation type (Base, GNOME, KDE, LXDE, > Sugar, XFCE) was unclear.

This is perhaps a little unclear. I'll talk to mizmo about adding radio buttons. By "the box abuts the left margin", you just mean that it looks odd without any sort of button/box next to it, right? If you mean something else, can you attach a screenshot? > The right box (Addons) was > hard to track. There should be a separate list of current selections. This screen is unfinished.

No one has ever asked for these sorts of things before, and they'd have to have pretty good justifications. > Installation Destination gave only the barest info: disk manufacturer > and model, with gross capacity.

There is a limit to how much can be displayed at once. I'm sure there are people out there with 20 drives who want to see them all at once. You can use the disk shopping cart (button on the bottom left) to see what all you've got selected at once, though. Horizontal scrolling - does the box not scroll with the keyboard? We've had this problem elsewhere and if that's happening, I should be able to fix it. > Sometimes I have multiple drives of the same make and model, > so I need to see the serial numbers, too.
