There is a 5-second deadline. Anything longer requires a progress bar (or at least some changing indicator "I'm still alive"), else it's equivalent to a "hang". It is much more pleasant to have a progress bar. I'll wait patiently much longer if I have some reasonable indication of how close it is to being done, and if I can estimate the completion time. > >> The left box (Desktop) of Installation type (Base, GNOME, KDE, LXDE, >> Sugar, XFCE) was unclear.

Also, it's really hard to read when the first character of a line has less than 0.5 'n' of space to the left.

An ordinary table of text, with columns of attributes and rows of drives (including a small icon for the type of drive) would be better. Such a table could list 12 drives easily before vertical scrolling would become necessary. Horizontal scrolling would allow more attributes at once, there could be 6 or 7 columns of attributes (icon, make, model, size, serial, MSDOS/GPT/Apple) before scrolling. > >> Sometimes I have multiple drives of the same make and model, >> so I need to see the serial numbers, too. > > The serial number is available if you hover the mouse. If I can't see it, and am not told it's there, then it isn't there. Requiring hover is also bad for those who use assisting technologies. >> There was no message "No LVM2 structures were found" which is >> required in order to increase my confidence and help detect errors. > > What? If disk discovery gets something wrong. then there is a moderate chance of data loss, and that would be catastrophic. The GUI tells me if LVM2 was discovered. It also should tell me if LVM2 was _not_ discovered. -- _______________________________________________ Anaconda-devel-list mailing list Anaconda-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/anaconda-devel-list
