EXACTLY!! This would be very cool and would make a great project. I find most newbie problems with Linux stems from that the install confuses them. I know I imagined all kinds of horrors happening to my box the first time I installed Linux on it, when the fact was that I was just fearing the unknown.
If newbies could see what was happening during an install while a knowledgeble person described in common terms what was going on, that would help newbies get through the install process, IMHO. I really would like to see this happen. Has it been done before? Is anybody interested in working on something like this? John Hebert > -----Original Message----- > From: Kris A.
