Maybe, or it's just like we use YaST all the time and that is just a YaST-look. But the install is very important for users that want to checkout SUSE. A graphical install that looks slick will make people trust the software. Don't know why but it's like that.
Slick, is that horizontal bar that tells nothing, but time point. Than troubleshooting would be easier: Q:"Let me know what you see in exactly in 2 min 45 sec after beginning?" A:"I see blue to 46%. The rest is white."
Maybe install should be so simple that there are no questions?
Idea 2: Let the user select what screens he/she wants to use default: default/expert. On every screen in default there will be an option to see expert-options but you don't have to make the choice every time.
yes
This contradicts request for simplification as it adds another screen with options.
Serious, you make vague points. The one above I had to read 7 times and this one I don't understand neither. It DOES add a screen but default users won't see that screen.
For the asker: Options confuses people. The will read the options but probably they don't understand everything of it. Just make them hidden.
Removing options is what MS did and now I'm using Linux. What is your proposal where to go if SUSE removes all options?
Darn, you are annoying man. Maybe have to be put in Expert?
Idea 3: This one is stolen from Vista. Drop those radiobuttons (round things) and replace it with an nice arrow that directly reponse.
don't always try to mimics windows. I don't know vista and don't want to know about it :-). I like to be able to groups my answers, the less screens the better
Don;t get you're point. This thing does not generate more pages. It just makes sure you only have to click ones instead of "select option C" - "Next". It feels more 'direct' to do it with action-buttons. Don't be afraid to mimic Vista on some point. Maybe we won't agree with their bussiness and source-model but that does not mean their graphical design is bad.
Brrrrrr, ik dislike Linux-fanboys that ban everything from MS only because it is MS.
Wrong, Azerion. It is disliked because it's a lot of eye candies without content, and reference MS is just to save typing.
The content does not change with this idea. You only miss the [next] button at those pages cause the acion will be there if you click the option.
I don't like to see that kind of "user friendly" here. Computers are complex devices, and operating systems are not mind readers to guess what I want to do with. Installation programs have to ask questions, and user must be able to answer. If they are not clear what was asked the only exit is good (not necessarily large) help.
The question is the same....Do you read the plan? Now: - read 4 options - click option 1 - click next Next page Then: - read 4 options - click option 1 Next page
Idea 4: Do not show more information the needed in default. I don't care what step I have had and which one will come next.
I do care much. this is a very good thing, don't change it, please. It's very fequent to be disturbed during a work (phone call...) and you must know where you are when coming back
True, you want to know where you ARE. You don't have to know where you HAVE BEEN. I know that I have partitionized and selected a language......
Hello, how to locate where I'm with single word. How many steps was before and how many comes is important. BTW, just as it is in MS, just different graphics.
Why should you know where you located? Somebody said: sometimes I install 3 PC's at the same time. Good, then you are probably not Joe Avarage so it can be placed in Expert.
Lees info in the screen, as default, is good.
Don't turn slide show off. There is not much information ;-)
Read further my friend....
Idea 5: Take care of that you show a lot of nice things in the slideshow. 3 buttons: prev, next, diashow. It uses some space on the disk but new users will welcome it....
honestly I don't like the slideshow, I HATE advertisements. If slide show tyhere is, it should be _usefull_ (list of new points, some help...)
YOU hate them, YOU won't watch them if you are installing openSUSE. YOU are expert and YOU know what openSUSE brings to your desktop.
I do also, new users don't. And I guess we will have to focus on new users at some points. Experts won't see the slide-show after all (even if it includes release-notes)
