I installed and played with Ubuntu 10.10 over the weekend (in a VM), and I have to say that their installer is very smooth indeed. It's starting to make anaconda look distinctly clunky. Some of the things it does which are IMHO better: - starts disk formatting / copying / installing in parallel with asking user questions - downloads updates in parallel too - uses IP geolocation to guess the user's timezone and keyboard settings (it's been 100% correct for me each time) - suggests a username and hostname based on the user's real name (Mac OS X's installer also does this -- it's a nice touch) This is in contrast to anaconda (certainly from the live CD install) which seems to be a usability no-go area. Thoughts? Can we switch to their installer?
