A very nice demo indeed and lot of improvement over the current one.
I tried it and felt happy to see the visual improvements and now have
a few clarifications to ask:
1. Right now nothing happens on pressing the "Help" button.
So, after the cayman comes out, will clicking this button pops out
a help window or the help message will occupy the current screen?
2. In the summary screen, if I need to make any changes, I will have
to go back and make changes.
It will be good, if I have a choice to correct it here itself.
And also, this screen is not showing the "Hostname" typed in the
previous screen.
3. Progress Bar is only showing a filling bar.
It will be helpful, if it also shows the percentage over and the
time remaining to complete.
4. Will there be any choice to select the filesystem or is it only ZFS?
And there is no information regarding the "File System" that is
going to be installed on the partition screen.
5. In the "Date and Time" screen, will the user be allowed use his
mouse and click on the map to select his timezone?
6. First screen doesn't have any heading/label.
7. In the sysid screen, we are asking for a "Hostname".
But, what if the user wants to go for DHCP and I don't see any
choice with DHCP/Static Address!
So, are we assuming that this is a standalone install?

Narendra
