I think it would be too confusing. There is no interface for adding options to grub beyond interactive mode, so perhaps you're referring to isolinux, the boot loader on the CD. In that particular case the options are not placed in a manner where the user is forced to choose between them. The default option is clear and prominent. The choices in isolinux are also simple concepts that can be easily worded in the space allocated. I think forcing the users to make a choice between which version of the installer they will run would be a poor design decision from a usability standpoint. I also think it will be difficult to convey the difference between the two options in their icon titles using language that the most basic of users can understand.
At any rate, adding another option to the desktop would mean that A) the interface has to change and B) the translations have to be updated. The latter of which is not possible, as I understand it, and the former is not reasonable, both given the impending release. I've already fixed quite a few bugs relating to migration-assistant, and with the next upload of it and a follow up to the outstanding bug reports, I'll have a much clearer picture of what major issues, if any, still exist. As Hardy (Ubuntu 8.04) will be a long term support release, there will be a big drive for usability improvements and stabilization of existing features, especially in the installer, and you can be sure that migration-assistant will be a part of this. -- Proposal: Make migration entirely optional https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/149584 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
