... If there are issue with updating in general, partitioning, or file systems, we want to warn the user before package installation.
But before it was a button close to Help with no guarantee whatsoever that people read it.
If there is info which must be known by (almost) all users, shouldn't such kind of info shown mandatory? E.g. via something like a popup warning message which must be confirmed via [OK] or [Yes]/[No] or [Continue]/[Cancel]? In case of a warning it might be even a must to force the user to confirm it to avoid legal issues e.g. regarding liability. Depending on the jurisdiction in the users country a general disclaimer of liability may be void (at least in some cases). Perhaps it is even required in some countries to get an explicite confirmation for each independent issue? Perhaps it is even required in some countries to show the full text of an agreement before the confirmation button appears? For many users it might be annoying to confirm our EULA and confirm whatever warnings before installation and confirm whatever individual package EULAs and so on but if it is necessary from the legal point of view there is nothing we can do.
