Just a Proposition....:-)))
Hi to all...:-)))
Well, I'm just a newbie but I'd like
a new installation routine for debian. I have the following proposition
for future installation routines.
First dselect is not very user friendly...and
for a newbie it's say difficult to use...:-)) It gives the possibility
to install MANY packages. Of course sometimes I do not know whether I'll
ever need them. Later dpkg always needs magical spells to make it work.
What U think about something like this:
A text based installation of the BASE
system (whatever it is) plus X. Later we continue the installation under
X by just using something like xdselect or xdpkg (without cryptic spells,
just checkboxes). Of course there should be an option for all these who
love the text version of the installation...:-)) I think installing and
upgrading under X by just using the mouse pointer should be possible...and
BTW other so called OS can do it too...more or less...:-))) Maybe someone
is currently working on an installation routine like this and I think it
would make debian more user friendly and debian would gain more users....
Greetings to all
Jacek
