But there has been nothing on the boot help screens about it until a few weeks ago, so we really don't know if users will read that and if that will be sufficient, or if this more obtrusive prompt is needed. Can't we at least try keeping it on the boot help screens for a while and see if that is enough? Also, I think the goal should be to get things right, by using the correct priorities for questions, detecting errors and falling back appropriatly, etc. Not plaster over it by making the user make such a choice. > I agree that its ugly, though, and probably deserves to be re-written.

I wrote that text for knowledeable users intentionally reconfiguring debconf, not for the second thing new users will see on a debian install. -- see shy jo
