My idea of taking care of this "partitioning" step User Friendly will be a "visual" environment and drag & drop. Also going with my concept of "Default Option" and "Expert Override", I will see it like this:
1: "Partitioning" step provides me with 2 Bar charts: a. Current b. Suggested where YaST lay out a default partition plan (root, swap etc) even with file systems specified (lets say most stable and common one of preference. We need to remember its not about which FS is superior. Here we need a newbie to get started with something that works stable. Lever it for experts to override).
Drag will let me resize the partition. Right mouse menu for create, delete, Expert settings (Where geeks rule). Resizing Windows Zone (I am sure there will be one :P) will cause Warning to be prompted and asked to confirm (Not sure if I can actually resize from YasT. I heard I can, but never had the courage to touch it).
My aim is that to have a page where I will be able to pass it with just accepting it but yet I see a graphical picture of what is going on.
I think, that this a cool concept and I would recommend that for the intermediate user (e.g. like me :-)). For the newbie user we should still do it via auto-partitioning.
With this one, a bit of disagreement. Instead of forking the path from the start, I will love to have it "Default Option" with "Expert override" (which is visually present in the screen) along every step.
But wouldn't this be annoying for the expert users to click on the expert button in each step to explore whats behind?
Also I guess its usually very hard to make profiles such as "Intermediate". I think it will be hard to differentiate between "Intermediate" choices vs "Expert Choices"
Yapp.
I am planning to write a "review" thing with my ideas/imaginations. Planning to have some mockups. Few things I want to ask:
Cool! Can you please them somewhere on http://en.opensuse.org/UX/Installation This makes it easier for everyone to look at your ideas.
1. Running the imagination will with GUI is easy but how do we keep the text version of the installation in sync with that. Or we don't_want / avoid that?
We have to take care of a text version.
2. Can we have multi-threading code on the YaST installer?
You mean differnt code strings for different kinds of installations?
