String freeze in progress, sorry to say that again, but we really can't afford changing/adding messages now. I perfectly understand the usability issue, however this is a limitation we have with the debconf/slang interface. There are way other limitations which would require to warn users in a lot of places in the installer, I'm afraid. Basically, we would need adding a "press Space to Select a task and Enter when finished" but only when the slang interface is used. As debconf does not currently have a concept of interface-dependent message, this is simply not possible. This indeed re-joins the idea a a "help" button on debconf screens, mor eor less. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
