Again some mockups. Back to realism that Gimp is not the easy 
image-creator ;-). So they are not the way I want them to be but I cannot 
make it any better. The more I try the more they look to refuse. I think they 
are pretty clear in what I mean in generally.

For those who don't know my self-made acronym:
KICK IT! stands for Keep It Clean Kreator (I'll Try!)

====================================================

In those mockups some points (again).

1.) While loading the kernel (no message-popup!), you may explain what it is 
for. It does not have to be technical complete as long as the user 
understands that something important is loaded. It's just nicer then the 
awful YaST-popup.

2.) Do not show numbers as we can all see that the progressbar is at almost 
50%. We don't need numbes for that. KICK IT!

-----------next slide----------------

3.) Again some information. The second sentence is garbage but did not know 
what to tell about it. It's pretty late over here (have to stay up anyway).

4.) On request: the progress 'doublee' (variation of tree). No weird 
check-signs and so on. Users wil understand that the bold option is the 
screen they are at, and they will also know that the entries above the bold 
line are allready done (and visa versa). Who invented those list-style-icons 
anyway? KICK IT!

5.) Did still not add the help-button (image) and there are still no logo's 

6.) I do not have a scrollbar for languages. I think the scroll-idea is widely 
known and I think that we can fullfill all needs by two arrows in the dark 
box. One up...and one....good guess, you'll get a sticker :D

7.) Little shadow. It does not grab the attention in anyway but does make it 
little less 'plain-looked'. Have to admit, it is the only thing I can do at 
this moment to spice it up a bit :P. And still it is TO boring.

8.)  Then: Back, Abort and Next-button do not need hard borders. KICK IT!

Please react. Not only about the mockups but about the installer in general. 
What can be improved, what is disturbing your ultimate 
installation-expierience.

But, please also react on the mockups. I am not an graphic (Gimp) artist but I 
try to show my ideas on paper. That is easier talking then 
only...ehhh...talking.
