My first reaction is that with "packages" before "partitions" one doesn't have a proper sense of the free space they have when selecting packages. Other than that I don't have any strong opinions on the order of things in the installer, as everything happens after the last "ok" in the final screen, anyway. (Ah, and I'm not a fan of the idea of presenting "no extra users" as an option.) -- Hisham _______________________________________________ gobolinux-devel mailing list gobolinux-devel@lists.gobolinux.org http://lists.gobolinux.org/mailman/listinfo/gobolinux-devel
