Welcome welcome,

as some of you all may know I am very interested in the installation of 
openSUSE. Big changes won't happen for 10.2 but I saw some things that 
prabably are easy to change. I also found a bug that I will report after I 
clicked "send". No more bla bla, let's go!

1.] If you check the chechbox for addons and you add the addon-cd, the actual 
addon's are not shown in a patterngroup. That is not weird cause there is no 
natural pattern between the packages from the Addon-cd but people do not 
download the CD for fun. They download it because of Acrobat, Flash and some 
more.

The problem is that with the behavior from the installer at this moment Flash 
for example is not checked and you can only find it by search or bij 
Installation-source. To bad....people will expect it to be installed.

2.] Please show after the restart a window/message in the mainwindow that you 
have to wait. At this moment you see only the mouse-loading-icon and that 
stopped. I am no noob so I checked top right away, but people will think that 
the install hangs cause we are used to have the mouse not freezed when a 
progam does. So only top was my indication that everything was fine.

3.] This is pure image-building. The screen from the installation is 
too 'busy'. I have talked about it at this ML and I know there won't be big 
changes as I said earlier, but small things can change a lot. This is only 
about the "Package Installation:-screen cause that was the moment I checkd 
the interface, but I guess some point can be applied to all the screens 
without trouble.

- remove the line under Package Installation. We can live without it cause the 
title is far above the rest so no splitter is needed.

- connect the tabs to the inner-screen. At this moment they hover above it so 
there is a line between the tabs and the inner-screen. Everything seems much 
slicker when that splitline is gone. 

- remove the border around the slide. It is just another border and it does 
not make sens at all. Borders should only be used to 'order' things if 
without borders it would be a mess. Trust me, I can see the diference between 
the progress-bar and the slidetext without being confused :P

- Make the inner-screen a bit more colored or a little bit lighter. At thos 
moment it is spartanian in the same color as the rest of the screen. It looks 
awful.

- Some more comments about the slides but that will come some other day. I 
think that the presentation is going to show at more CD's then only at CD1 so 
there will be a discussion about that anyway.

4.] Just a little point but the theme have to be changed anyway I think (cause 
of those tabs). If there is a little message-window it does have some lines 
in the border. Probably to show that the window can be rezised but it looks 
weird if there is a little window where all those stripes are 2cm from their 
neigbours.


So, that was it. I know I am a crybaby :P but I think those little things will 
make the YaST-installer much slicker and it seems to be really small things 
to change. I will report point 2 to Bugzilla and another bug (mouting crypted 
disk gives an error when checked as "not mount at boot", if you first mount 
and the check it it is fine).

Have a nice day
