In a way it's actually less clear than in oldUI. I have filed a bug on this tonight. I've actually filed a slew of UI improvement suggestion bugs, but this is one of them. I think we can make this reasonably clear quite easily: we just need some text on the 'disk shopping cart' screen which explains reasonably concisely what the hell is going on, what will happen next, and that nothing happens until you hit the big red button. The bug is https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=903498 , and my suggestion is simply to add this text (or something like it, I'm sure Mo can improve it) to the shopping cart screen: Choose which storage devices will be a part of the Fedora installation. Any device you do not select here will be left untouched by this installation process. The 'Full disk summary and options...' link may be used to configure bootloader location if needed. Clicking Continue will take you to the next step of storage configuration, where you can plan to free up space for the installation if needed, or choose to configure your planned storage layout manually. No changes will be made to your storage devices until you complete this configuration process, return to the main screen, and click "Begin Installation". I really think that just doing something that simple would go a long way to clearing up the confusion. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | identi.ca: adamwfedora http://www.happyassassin.net _______________________________________________ Anaconda-devel-list mailing list Anaconda-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/anaconda-devel-list
