How does that sound?
Sounds good! Personally, I would like to view the “wizard” as a helper, and not as something that hides everything and turns people into “end users.” I don’t know how this could translate in the design of the tool. Perhaps showing the ‘operating-system’ declaration as you suggest is one thing, and making it easy to view the section of the manual that corresponds to a particular item, or to jump to the code that defines a specific service (say), would be helpful too. Thanks, Ludo’.
