Very nice review, a lot of attention to detail.
Let's hope it won't be forgotten in the depth of the ML, like many
other great things... Have you directly contacted the authors?

That's a very nice pdf. One minor thing:
User Switching
The User Switcher applet shouldn't appear with only one user.
I think it should, to let the use familiarize themselves. It'll be a bit
disorienting (like where did that come from?) if the applet suddenly
appeared after the installation.

Be careful with meaningful names, you need to ensure
10GB is more than enough under normal usage. You'd have to install..all of
GNOME, KDE, Enlightenment...and it still wouldn't be full. Even with all
that and a lot more, I'm at around 7GB full.

While a separate /home makes reinstalls easier, how would you know the
size of / the user needs?

One thing I've been thinking would be good for quite some time is creating
separate / and /home partitions by default. So when a user selects "Use
entire disk", it would create a /home. And certainly when a user creates a
/ and then creates another partition, it should be /home by default rather
I also like the concept of setting the language and keymap at boot. The
other minor adjustments in wording etc. also look good.
IMHO one of the most important possible adjustments to ubiquity would be to
recognize partitions by OS installed, and label them that way. I don't know
the code structure

Agreed. I don't know why gparted was abandoned, it provided a more user

Wow, that's very thorough. I particularly like the partitioning
suggestions, since that seems to be the hardest thing to explain, and
Partman (that's what's in the new installer right?) feels uncomfortable.
Switching from GParted to Partman resulted in a more geeky interface, IMO.

Among the items listed in there and not in yours are:
- Label disks by diskname.
- (auto)Magically do timezone (If connected to internet, LinuxMCE can
do this)
I really like the idea of set

Hi!
I did a walk-through and compiled issues, suggestions and several
mockups regarding the Ubuntu installation:

Any comments welcome. I'm willing to refine things where and if there's
interest. I could file requests if that
