I would strongly recommend to use the "real" names somewhere in the description. Otherwise it is never clear, which one of the several (including cfdisk and whatnot) partitioners was used in a certain case. eg. Partition disks, recommended tool (partman) Partition disks (partconf) Partition disks (cfdisk) so I would support Joey's idea, even if he doesn't seem to like it :-) I'm not so clear about what to show when (priority, arch), because all I know is i386 Somewhat off-topic, but also a description thing: would it seem reasonable to add another boot method (don't know a better term) to d-i like so Name Setting Description linux DEBCONF_PRIORITY=high minimum questions asked (recommended) custom DEBCONF_PRIORITY=medium more options on bootloader, networking, file systems expert DEBCONF_PRIORITY=low full control especially on hw and kernel modules Excuse: I see that often we have to tell folks use: "DEBCONF_PRIORITY=medium", which is awkward to type on a foreign keyboard anyway. We could, if enough like it, add Name and Description above the first prompt. Maybe that lead to lesser people pressing 'F1' to read the help, I don't know. > That way, all partman-supported archs will have a quite clear choice > and non partman supported archs will only have "expert" which is not > really a problem as these architectures are indeed often used by > experts..:-) > > Moreover, the choice will only be shown at medium priority which is > already a choice for "experts".... > > This terminology is the one I've already seen in RedHat 8 as far as I > remember. > > Comments?
