Well, it would be a new wizard: "You have a windows partition available, do you want to try and import the fonts?" =>drakfont. A few other questions could exist, but would require tools to convert data or copy MyDocuments from the users profile etc. > another idea is to display a page with task oriented admin entries, the > users should say during installation if he want to see this wizard as in > a networked environment, the sysadmin will not appreciate if the user > see this when they will be first connected. > Can always check authentication system selected, and not show it if LDAP/NIS/Winbind ? Or, a system administrator should be encouraged to make a configuration package, which requires packages and/or provides config files.

Q: I have a problem with configuring my modem A: Install latest drakxtools update Q: How? =>Catch22. We must be able to guarantee a user can't stuff up their internet connection. This means all the required settings should be in the non-expert mode of drakconnect, and should get the user a valid hostname, and if the provider has DDNS, actually register the name or use the name supplied (but be able to change it in advanced configuration). > >>> - Many things not obvious or not correctly explained in the help/doc. >> >>IMHO, instead of just providing a docs package with a menu entry to an >>HTML help package, we need an indexed or indexable help system, and help >>browsers with search capabilities (and yelp's one doesn't qualify ..). > > > but kdehelp can do it.

KDE's scrollkeeper support is interesting though ... just needs to be integrated better, and support searching (which scrollkeeper should allow).
