DNS-server, HTTP-server. Normal people don't know what they are and don't want to know. I think it must me 'there' but not with 21 shortcuts. Try to group them. > > Idea 1: Do not use 'windows' like we do use it now. > > the goal is probably to have the same look we get after the > install... Maybe, or it's just like we use YaST all the time and that is just a YaST-look. But the install is very important for users that want to checkout SUSE. A graphical install that looks slick will make people trust the software. Don't know why but it's like that. > > Idea 2: Let the user select what screens he/she wants to use default: > > default/expert.

I like to be able to groups > my answers, the less screens the better Don;t get you're point. This thing does not generate more pages. It just makes sure you only have to click ones instead of "select option C" - "Next". It feels more 'direct' to do it with action-buttons. Don't be afraid to mimic Vista on some point. Maybe we won't agree with their bussiness and source-model but that does not mean their graphical design is bad. Brrrrrr, ik dislike Linux-fanboys that ban everything from MS only because it is MS. > > Idea 4: Do not show more information the needed in default.

I know that I have partitionized and selected a language......

YOU hate them, YOU won't watch them if you are installing openSUSE. YOU are expert and YOU know what openSUSE brings to your desktop. I do also, new users don't. And I guess we will have to focus on new users at some points. Experts won't see the slide-show after all (even if it includes release-notes) Azerion --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
