Hi,
I tested FDI, and - in general - it looks really awesome. I list below
all my remarks.
*** 1st Screen ***
"Please select you language." - this should be "youR language".
the language names that change when I pass on them are quite...
confusing. maybe it's just me, but I'd really prefer to have each
language written statically (in its own language ideally), ie.
"English", "Espanol", "Francais", "Deutsche", etc...
*** 2nd screen ***
"Welcome to the installation program for FreeDOS 1.2-pre15."
I think it would sound better as:
"Welcome to the FreeDOS 1.2-pre15 installation program"
Then: "If you choose to install this (...)" sounds a little diminishing
to FreeDOS. Something like "If you choose to install it (...)" might
sound better.
In multiple choices, each choice is ended with a dot ("No - Return to
DOS.") - it looks weird, doesn't it?
*** 3rd screen ***
"Yes - Partitioner drive C:." should read "Yes - Partition the C: drive"
Then the computer reboots, and I land back on the "Please select your
language". It's quite confusing. "intuitively", the naive user in me was
expecting the installation to continue from the point it stopped (ie.
after partitionning).
I understand why this happens, but other users might not. A short
explanation screen after or before the partitioning process would be
nice, for example: "Once your drive is partioned, the computer will be
rebooted and the installation process should start again from the
beginning."
*** freezing ***
After my C: drive being partitioned, the installer restarted and
formatted the drive. Then, it displayed a message "Gathering some
information to prepare for the installation."
note 1: the message should end with 3 dots "installation...", since it's
something "in progress"
note 2: my installation stopped there, since this screen never went
away. tested on VirtualBox with 8M of RAM and a 256M virtual drive. I
used all_cd.iso for the installation ("FreeDOS 1.2-pre15"), with the FDI
bootdisk downloaded from your website.
*** general note ***
I like the "patterned" background screen very much (I think there was
some debate about that on the list recently).
cheers,
Mateusz
