So here we >are - any better suggestions? ;-) I actually like the look of the new "System Type and Software Selection" screen[0] with the different types in the single list. What would be nice is for the package selection to honour choices made on this screen. E.g. someone leaving "Play games" unchecked is likely to expect there to be no games, the same with multimedia and graphics. Leaving these unchecked shouldn't install packages within those groups, unless they are required by other packages. It would also be nice if not enabling the "Open and modify documents from my mother" would remove the Office patterns. At present, the new usage boxes don't appear to actually do anything. Or deselecting them doesn't at the moment. I guess that there's going to have to be some changes to the patterns again to make them actually do what the descriptive text says. >Actually what I want in that dialog is > > [ ] Minimal Installation (the bare minimum) > [ ] Server Installation (no desktop) > [ ] XFCE Desktop (only necessary applications) > [ ] GNOME Desktop (with Browser, Office programs) > [ ] KDE Desktop (with Browser, Office programs) You've either missed out the "Minimal X" or the "Text Mode" selection from that list. >I'm just not sure yet about the order :) I think the way the pop-up was laid out was quite good. The ordering with the full featured GUI desktops first, then the minimal X, a text only system, and finally the bare minimum.
