Note: You have to use the reply-button if you want to react within the mailing. Now we have 2 of them about the same subject. Original: Why so few sheets in the install? ==========================================
And there's too much boring text in a fluvial manner! Like the gates of the word lake have yielded and words are overflowing.
If you put up 10 lines of text of "you can do a, and b, and c, and d, and e, and..." people will not remember more than a and b, so the rest is wasted.
Also a point that I wanted to complain about. I thought it was done by de Dutch translator but if this is the standard....aaaaauch. "You can contact with youre friends, organise youe bussiness, edit photographs, make presentation, etc etc etc" Jut to much.
I suggest to have more slides, but with less text each.
The ammount doen't have to be changed. The content can be changed so there is more 'real info'
Use bullets.
One idea/program per slide. (don't say "you can use gimp or kooka to edit photos" in the same slide). Instead use a header "Photo editing" that remains unchanged and describe gimp and kooka in two consecutive slides.
Pretty nice, or if we prefer one sheet you can summarize them with the own title above the summary.
Pictures, screenshots of the program.
YYup, the eye is requesting some pics.
Some SVG animations would be uber cool.
Also sound (that can be turned off by the user). I know that sound card detection and configuration is at the end of installation, but maybe there can be some separate auto-configuration, like the LiveDVD does it, especially to have sound during installation. How cool would it be to hear some music and explanations of the stuff shown on screen? You could even use a voice synthetiser, to keep the space requirements low.
I thin that is a bit to much. We do not want an extra cd (they eventhink about decreasing it to 3! :/ )
The "Next Slide" button is a great idea.
It is :) Azerion
