Actually, I would like to get some input on color scheme. I have a feeling
that noone is really happy with it as it is, but noone offers anything
better either. If you can put some examples of better collor
schemes online (we cannot discuss colors withouth pictures), please do so.

At the moment, we offer three ways of choosing packages:
1) you trust us to give you a nice set of packages.
2) step 1: you tell the installer what kind of packages you are
interested in, and trust us that we know which packages
go in which group
step 2: by moving a slider left-right, you decide how many MB
of packages you really want, and trust us to give you only "the
best of" if you move the slider to the left.
3) you want to choose the packages individually
I beleive that 1 and 2 are fine, but 3 is a kind of stupid with 1000+
packages. This is a major problem, but at the moment noone knows how to
improve the process - we are completely open for sugestions here.
