Package: debian-installer Severity: normal one of the biggest qualms with the windows installer is that various dialogs pop up dispersed throughout the installation, forcing the user to constantly attend to the system (merely to hit "next" when the appropriate time comes).
it appears to me that the debian-installer suffers this usability concern as well. for example, user set up and configuration comes after disk partioning (which can take a reasonble amount of time especially ext3 on large disks). if user set up were before disk partitioning, then the user would not need to wait as the installer could continue directly into package download and installation. i suggest that some time be spent considering the installation order of operations, and making sure that the user is not being forced to attend the system unnecessarily. mike -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers testing APT policy: (600, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.16-2-686 Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
