Yet another reason to stay off the streets of Paris. :-)
One request on installation. Would it be possible to get all the setup
information up front, and only then go ahead with the installation? I hate
the agonizingly slow installations of Windows 9x and NT 3.x and 4.x
because they crunch along, ask a question, then crunch along again,
etc. I'd rather set it up once, answer all the questions once, and then
walk away, say to the next install.
This does run the risk that information gathered early in the process will
turn out to be incorrect or unacceptable later on. Maybe some probing
could go on before or during the information gathering.
