People are confused by seeing Httpserver, DNS-server and so on in YaST.
why "confused"? may be these options are not uptodate, but it's good to have them
DNS-server, HTTP-server. Normal people don't know what they are and don't want to know. I think it must me 'there' but not with 21 shortcuts. Try to group them.
Idea 1: Do not use 'windows' like we do use it now.
the goal is probably to have the same look we get after the install...
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.
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
For the asker: Options confuses people. The will read the options but probably they don't understand everything of it. Just make them hidden.
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.
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...... Lees info in the screen, as default, is good.
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) Azerion --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
