Why does it have to be automated, really?
Ease of use
A simple question to the user could briefly explain intent, why a different size may be used, what the recommended guesstimate is, and so on. Most users who don't care will simply click "ok" with the given pre-determined size, and anyone with any particular interest greater than "who the hell cares" will not only be informed of whats suggested, but offer them the chance to make it more "right" - for them atleast.
That is done now as well. You get a brief explanation. Any more explanation during the installation process will be extremely confusing and won't be complete. The recommended guestimate is shown and is what we are discussing here. If people don't care, people will click OK. Also you do have the chance to make it more right for them. houghi -- Nutze die Zeit. Sie ist das Kostbarste, was wir haben, denn es ist unwiederbringliche Lebenszeit.
