There are two problems with adding any setting to the installer. First, it makes the installation process require more reading and more clicks. (For example, the "Who are you?" step you refer to is already crammed full and doesn't fit on some netbook screens, so adding anything more to it would mean splitting it into two steps.) Second, it makes people less likely to understand later that the setting can be changed without reinstalling. So in general, the installer should ask only things that are difficult to change later (or where a wrong assumption would have effects that are difficult to undo later). - -- Matthew Paul Thomas http://mpt.net.nz/ -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAknZyKkACgkQ6PUxNfU6ecrKnwCfbYWdlHJz4rRiMK6H9QMIQFtq y8YAoI72gGL6BonUtX+54olJbu9M2O2F =49Ec -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss
