--- Comment #7 from Stefan Knorr
I'm sure there are many asking for a shorter installation workflow in ubuntu "because openSUSE proves it works"
Hum, well: * Ubuntu's installer is actually a step shorter (I've counted) * Ubuntu's installer is finished quicker, because it starts copying files immediately after you picked the right partition layout and then lets you set up things like user name, time zone, etc. * After you've installed it, an Ubuntu system is already up-to-date, can play Flash movies and MP3's (if you selected that tick box), and has Wi-fi set up * Ubuntu doesn't make its users decide between two desktops (which to novice users is an impossible-to-make decision & so, I guess, quite a time-waster for them) * Ubuntu's partition set up is much more user-friendly It's by no means perfect, but, and that is indeed just imho, looks/feels more professional and trustworthy.
I can't see the value of dead keys during installation either. If your user name has dead keys, you will have *that* test 2 screens later. If not, you can fix the layout after installation.
Sure, but why not pick the right one immediately? There'd be no need for an installer, if it were fine for everyone to just configure everything post file-copying. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
