I'm mostly worried about graphics card/monitor settings - which was also a concern on the blog. I don't think you have to be an expert to know for example the best resolution or aspect ratio for your monitor.
On the other hand the option to test the configuration was already removed on 10.3...
If you're shown the hardware configuration screen at least you know which chipset _SUSE thinks_ you're using.
Another benefit of the hardware configuration step is that you can blame the user for clicking next too fast when things go wrong. With the new layout only openSUSE is to blame for any problems, since it has assumed total control without letting the user know anything or have any say in what goes on. ---------------------------------------------------------------------
Those settings have only came to my notice of late on 4 11.0 boxen. You end up with the vesafb driver and 800x600 resolution. This never used to happen, some regression must have taken place. It's beyond a newbie to remedy this and it is just one step up from when we had to configure settings using a ruler and a calculator, long before SuSE was even a beam in the eye of its creators.
