Now I'm confused. Let's try to explain :-)

If the installer will allow the user to tune everything at the end of
the first stage in case something "goes wrong", I don't see the
improvement. It's just before the reboot instead then after.

I also wonder how you can check that things like printer, network, tv
card work before you have a complete installation, so I don't understand
how you can "check" what failed.

To add some consideration, I think that the idea of cleaning up the
installation process, which was considered too long, and not too complex
by users, at least in my experience on IRC, is good. But it seems to me
that the proposed solutions add complexity instead of removing it, by
just moving configuration options to a more hidden location or
postponing the configuration.

Anyway, I hope to see the new version in action in alpha 3, so we can
talk again after a test :-)

With kind regards,
Alberto
