HERE is a suggestion I have about the installation bootstrap questions that are prompted to the installer: make the questions more English like.... be more narrative with your questions you expect answers for ! like this one: "Please enter the FQDN of your new virtual machine (e.g. s390.redhat.com):" what is a FQDN ??????? Frequently Queer Darn Monkey ?? Take the "Man off the street" approach.... assume they are stupid and not LINUX literate.....LIKE ME !!! Just people who may or may not have 30+ years doing nothing but big IBM Iron..... but some non technical people....
