Priority
Requester: Important

Requested by: Carl Fletcher (caf4926)
Partner organization: openSUSE.org

Description:
Please for heavens sake remove the installer that can be run from
inside the WindowsⓇ OS.
That, or make it idiot proof and 100% dork proof.
I lost count way back in 11.0 of folk who have hosed their sysytem with
this installer! It needs to work, without fail or you are just giving a
really bad image to openSUSE.

I fully agree ,The new users (who are not aware, and do not understand
Linux) can be discouraged by the reception they get when some of the
problems occur,
Actually I will cut this short ,if it needs to be there, please hide
the option well from new users.


#2: Andreas Jaeger (a_jaeger) (2010-03-30 16:32:44)
Could you point me to some bugreports or reports?
