The "Show a screenful of sane defaults for lots of stuff" with a "Change" button next to each sounds good to me, and probably could just be a front for the current dialogs (which might not be perfect, but they are quite good) If the keyboard, timezone etc. are correct (based on autodetection/GeoIP when available) then why make the user even press Next? If "Nuke everything and use LVM on my 1TB Seagate" is ok, same there. If "Standard desktop" is fine, then so be it. If not, press "Change", select "Server" and if that's not good either, fiddle with the packages while you're over there. Personally I would probably like a cmd line option to anaconda for it to fetch some file through http (kickstart :) ), and that would have my favourite packages listed, and I could pretty much just press "Install" after anaconda starts up (after verifying that everything got detected correctly). Pretty much the current situation, except I wouldn't have to go through all of those dialogs. I'm no UX person, though. Maybe people want to think about one thing at a time and then press Next :D -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
