I think it should be possible to easily enter installer options like "tasks=xfce-desktop" whitout confusing new users.
Etch installer did have boot-prompt on first main screen what you saw when you booted from eg. netinst cd. It was possiblr to enter installer options to that prompt. That was wery handy. Now Lenny installer has nice new menu. In general I think it's wery nice improvement, but... I just did have hard time finding how you can enter those installer options to Lenny installer. I did not see boot prompt anywhere and I was already ready to give up. But then... I did go to installer help screen and it's there! There is that boot-prompt. I don't think that's right place for it, it's not obvious that you have to go to help screen. It's possible that boot-prompt has always been there, but I have never used it from there and I did not remember that it was there. It's many many years I have even needed to use that help screen. So help screen was the last place where I searched for the boot prompt. I think that this is a usability problem. I think it would be an good idea to add new boot prompt menu entry to installer's menu in the Advanced options section. That new menu entry could then allow user to enter installer options. You don't need to put confusing boot prompt to main screen so new users don't need to see it nesessarily. But I think it would be an good idea if boot prompt would be accessible from the Advanced options menu section. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
