Hi, Ancor & all If you are OK with recieving some user feedback through devel list, I'd like to share my opinion on that.

Wow, I can only remember one time I've actually seen this dialog about importing existing users > Hopefully, everything is self-explanatory with this approach.

You can get rid of crowdness by not being so verbose, also some option reordering can help. Option 1: Skip user creation (use authentication server) //this can fit in one line even in Russian Option 2: Create new user //selected by default, all the corresponding fields go unchanged If there was an existing installation detected, below goes the same text field as in current screen, but it says smth like "Existing installation was detected at <partition>. You can import users from there" and the button wiil be "Select users". I think this way all three options will be correctly presented without much visual clutter. -- Regards, Minton. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] To contact the owner, e-mail: [email protected]
