Hi Sue, Thanks for looking at this. My answers/comments inline...

As for the welcome panel and subsequent panels being drawn so low you couldn't see the buttons, I will let Niall, Matt or Jedy answer that. > - Is there an install log?

But, I tend to think that asking the user 'do you really, really want to quit' is annoying. We are not allowing the user to quit once the install/upgrade is started. So, quitting before then isn't really harmful to their system. I guess what I am saying is that I don't think it is necessary to ask them if they really want to quit since quitting is non-destructive. > License > - You can accept the license without looking at it.

Whatever language the user selects to install in will be marked as the default on the language support page. > - If I deselect all, everything is > deselected.

But, the ability for the user to move forward with no language support selected seems broken to me as well. I would think we would have to install support for at least one language. Seems like a bug that we don't either tell the user we are defaulting to English, or when they move back having defaulted back to English.

I see what you mean. We have yellow triangles with no text next to the left had text regarding user accounts, but do have warming text next to the triangle about the disk partition data.

This is on a future feature planned list. thanks, sarah
