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.
Agreed. suse's install is a bit plain...installers like (the above mentioned) freespire, and my personal favorite, anaconda, definately have the ability to look "prettier". My personal gripe is I like horizontal progress bars as opposed to vertical ones..the way suse does it just seems odd to me ;). Everyone is used to horizontal..or atleast in the US and would like to see it changed. Also another gripe is with the slides. I don't like how their times to the installation..especially for dvd installations. I like each one to be timed and display so people wouldnt actually have to stay for the *entire* install just to see some new highlights. I also wouldnt mind them being more "graphical". A good example for this (as always) is what red hat did for years (nice, round, beveled, and colorful splashes). Also this may be just me but it feels so weird that there's no "heading" at the top of the installer anymore. Some extra branding at the top couldnt hurt either. I would truly love for these suggestions to be implemented and make our installer look prettier..because everything else in SuSE surely does! -- Steve --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
