Do you think this is a good idea? Either by putting
the questions in bold, or marking the description in
some way (like the light blue background and "i" icon
I tried out in the mockups I did), it's a good idea
not to make a unique block of text of it all. With a
single block of text it's harder for:
- advanced users to ignore the descriptions, if for
example they do a lot of installs, or know exactly
what each question implies;
- "novice" users to easily know _what_ the current
screen is requesting from him, before "gulping" down
the entire explanation of that request.
I think that the newt interface tried to remedy this
using blank lines between the description and the
question.
