Giving the user that choice is the current Mandriva policy, and I don't see an intention to change it in Mageia. It's actually stated in the Mageia Values. > Also...........graphically I feel the installer & its layout is kinda > boring. > > Have you compared with other installers to make a better one? Personally, I *like* my OS installers boring. For the following reasons: 1) I should be using them only rarely 2) when I do, I should focus on what I am doing, not on the looks of the installer. So I like a clean-looking installer with a focus on reliability, functionality, reliability, and more reliability. Just my tuppence. Jérôme
