4. Briefly outline the advantages and disadvantages of each login arrangement wherever the choice is offered, but remain as neutral as possible in the presentation. This can be accomplished by providing a single two checkbox "<>On <>Off" control which is not preselected when the dialog appears. This allows the enduser to make a reasonably informed choice without interpreting the preset control as a "recommended" or "default" choice, thereby absolving Novell/SUSE of any moral/karmic liabilities and ensuring the basic concerns of each camp are addressed.
I think that is an even worse situation as we have now. I know for a fact that almost nobody reads what is on their screen and just click on next. It also does not solve the issue wether the default should be on or off and I hope you are not forcing people to choose or not be able to go on with the instalation. New people will be very worried wether they made the right choice or not Also making a pro - contra list is not a very good way to do it, becasue people will just count the numbers of pro and contra and make a choice without weighing each item on importance. 1 item can be so importand that it overshadows all the rest and unfortunatly the people for whom we make this choice will not have the experience to do this. People who do have the exprience do not need the explanation. houghi -- Quote correct (NL) http://www.briachons.org/art/quote/ Zitiere richtig (DE) http://www.afaik.de/usenet/faq/zitieren Quote correctly (EN) http://www.netmeister.org/news/learn2quote.html
