Name a real problem and we can talk about it. Every single aspect of it is a real problem. In the dictionary they have a picture of it next to the word "disaster". The whole random wheel/spoke thing is an invitation to forget to do something important. And who the hell would think that "network" would be the spoke where you set the system name? Why is the screen full of blank space and cryptic meaningless icons when it could use some of that space for valuable hints in actual text you can read? > On the specific you do give, I'm pretty confident in saying that you're > actually wrong. And therein lies the problem. Everyone who worked on partitioning has been congratulating each other for so long you can't see any problems. The partitioning is actually absolutely impossible to use: If there are multiple disks, it provides you only the size, model, and serial number to distinguish them, as though everyone has that memorized. Your only actually choice is to pick them all and hope you can see a clue later. After picking which disks to partition, you are presented with a single choice: You can press the Done button even though you are not anywhere close to done, or you can say "Screw this" and install a different distro. Should you work up the courage to press the Done button, you then reach the next layer of total obfuscation. It names the partitions by what operating systems are installed on them. Who the hell thinks that way? And where do I look for partitions that don't have any operating system on them. Why not name them by the biggest video file that lives on the partition or some other random choice? The adjectives "intuitive" or "useful" cannot be applied to any part of this interface. It is absolute and total junk. Our only hope is for redhat to use this in the next RHEL and then we can probably get changes as wave after wave of enterprise users descend on redhat HQ with pitchforks and torches. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
