t all convinced that the current installer is
fixable at all. I'm concerned about the next generation
installer, and I think that it's extremely important for
user-experience concerns to play a role in its design.

The dialog ``Make Linux bootable directly from the hard disk''

After failing to create a boot floppy, the installer continues by

The installer instructs you to insert a blank floppy into the
``first'' floppy drive. Macs, of course, only have one floppy, so
it's kind of pointless to tell users to use the first drive.
Presumably that text comes from the x

The timezone dialog is one of the most bizarre I've ever seen.
There are two lists: one that seems (at first glance) to contain
continents or country names, and one which lists time zone
abbreviations (among other things). A

When installing the base system, a dialog asking for a Debian
