Will you guys please just do as Will (#4) told you to, thank you. :-)
We need seperate KDE3 and KDE4 patterns with separate appropriate descriptions,
both easily selectable under "System Type" as in Will's option 1) or 2).
Option 3), Hiding KDE3 or other "System Types" under "Other" has proven a bad
idea imo. I regularly have to explain to long time SUSE users that openSUSE
actually offers a stripped down text install - and often times they hardly
believe me when I tell them. Hiding KDE3 under "Other" would mean hardly anyone
would notice it was available.
Current strategy of telling users to select minimal install and then manually
add kde3 patterns, is almost as bad as not including KDE3 desktop at all. Only
a few hardcore users will ever figure it out, and they'll probably be annoyed
by the amount of hoops they need to go through, to get a KDE3 desktop.
Regarding the descriptions maybe the old one could be reused with the following
additions:
For KDE4: "KDE4.0 is the latest major release of KDE, it's immature but
exciting."
For KDE3: "KDE3.5 is the previous release of KDE, it's mature and stable but a
little old and boring."
