Bug#264302: installation: suggest 2 changes in user interface
Package: installation
Severity: normal
I am using beta 4 net install to install Sarge.
In two places I was confused by the screen prompts. What they
say could be said better, I think.
1. Concerning GRUB, the user is given three choises:
<go back> <yes> <no>
There is no indication that LILO is a supported option.
Instead, reword the preamble and give four choises:
<go back> <GRUB> <LILO> <NONE>
2. DHCP is given as the only choise, and sometimes the user is not
even warned. It seems it just happens without comment. This should be
changed. Add a screen that offers, e.g.,
<DHCP> <manual configuration>
General comment: Very good. A vast improvement over what has been.
