Fair enough.

The Back button for all sub-sections needs better location, it took me a while to discover it, as well as the fact it was the only way out of the sub-section I was in. This is a nitpick.

Alternatively, in context of being in these sub-sections, Continue in lieu of Back is not inconsistent with returning to the Installation Summary. This is exactly how the Storage sub-section Continue button works if the user hasn't completed all items in Installation Summary.

Also a nitpick, the Software Selection UI has two halves with different UI. The Desktop selection UI lacks checkboxes for items, the Add-Ons selection has checkboxes for items. The difference in UI resulted in temporary confusion how I was supposed to interact.

Understood.
