Maybe, but desktop would rule out laptops and desktop machines are used as servers all over the place... My preference would be three terms that indicate a verbosity level with an explanation in the F? screens and installation manual what each option is most suited for. Something like: - - easy: mainly automated configuration, most suited for workstations default option (equal to linux) - - medium: partly automated confuguration, more suited for servers - - verbose: full control of configuration, may be nesecary for unusual hardware (There is no 'w' and only one 'a' in that lot ;-) -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.2.1 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFAUjlegm/Kwh6ICoQRAkUIAKCYPIYaWKoLhGIsuP7TXze0ieH89QCfTC58 KaNV/EPGALM2tXKU5eY+qtY= =A48f -END PGP SIGNATURE- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.
