Main problem with Kaptan is that being a KDE tool. Otherwise, freezing on first boot should not a problem. We can set a default configuration for this purpose and user changes this configuration according to his/her taste via Kaptan. So if it s***ks on first screen then nothing to worry about. Also, an information page can be implemented as a first tab to Kaptan like i see in mockups in this thread. I' m not a programmer but i think implementing those should be easy. Main problem is like i said, porting Kaptan to GTK code. _______________________________________________ Mageia-dev mailing list Mageia-dev@mageia.org https://www.mageia.org/mailman/listinfo/mageia-dev
