Can anyone tell me why nobody actually cares about what Conrad Knauer was talking about in the first place ? How in **** did a discussion about making the Ubuntu installer look simpler, become a debate about whether some password or network security mechanism (or whatever) is crackable or not ? Focus people, any real thoughts about simplifying the Installer ? For me the Ubuntu install process doesn't get any easier, but I have to agree that it still LOOKS (as in what you see, not what you actually get) a bit complicated. And I also agree that hiding some of the options, people usually don't change, can help. Any thoughts ? P.S: no rumble about cracking password or I'll send the tooth fairy to hunt you down :) -- 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
