We have so to find a different way to code the jump's target in the main
menu: would it be a good idea to save the index of the choosed button in
the main menu instead of its translated description?
Anyhow a temporary workaround to the problem could be disabling the
saving of changes if the user jumps from the languagechooser module.
Nope, because the main menu is subject to dynamic changes.
E.g. in future if you don't configure your network-card it should pop up the
additional menu entries PPP and PPPoE.
So all later steps will change their ID's.
IMHO the best way to solve this is to use the C locale name of the button.
Since the solution doesn't seem to be so easy i've came up with the
temporary decision to disable modification savings when peforming
inter-languages jumps, committed to SVN
>>-chechmarks for every configured main menu item: after an installation
step has been successifully completed a green check or simply an "ok"
should be placed aside the corresponding main menu button to remember
the unexperienced user about the steps already successfully completed
To lighten your burden, this item is doubled in your list ;-)
Good: one less to go ! :)
-disable main menu options that need previous steps to be completed: if
the user has not yet installed the base system he should not be even
allowed to click the "install bootloader" button (this could be diffcult
to do, more or less the problems are the same as if we would insert a
global progressbar)
I'm not sure this is a good idea at all.
Think of a rescue system.
You don't want to install the base system, but you want to make your already
installed system bootable again.
As d-i doesn't know there is an installed system, it wouldn't allow you to
install grub.
Well, actually this is not permitted anyway, AFAIK.
