It was me and I honestly think if we want most Windows users to use jigdo, then we must have a GUI. >> made with a batchfile. even there I can "ask" for something, >> and the user can insert it. >> >> but ok. if it is as that simple, that GUI will be made fast >> I think. so fast that I wounder that it isn't out there >> allready made by someone. > > I said in an earlier mail that it is just a stupid wrapper GUI. > IMHO, any GUI system is just a stupid wrapper (even KDE or Gnome), right, fact is that most people have no clue about CLI and get completely brain dead as soon as you even mention CLI. Trying to get them to type even 1 command in means to loose those type of users (I claim those are the majority of today's computer users), especially if the iso download is extremely slow and unpleasant. A way to get the iso that is fast and can be done in 2 clicks without any real knowledge. Burning iso's is easy and wizard driven. Maybe it should be as easy as that. For me burning iso's is typing cdrecord dev=blah blah.iso and any gui really just cosmetic. Try to explain that to a hardened GUI user.
