The only way to address such an issue would be to add some text explaining
what a password could be. At least, it does not seem hard to do?
I also agree that the partitioning step can not be understandable to a
newbie.
About language, I wonder if it would be possible to auto-detect from the
the Internet: many websites are able to guess more or less precisely. I do
not know how they do that (maybe by knowing on which proxy the connection
go?), but maybe it could also be used by an installer when it have network
access.
The problem is that there is in that case a need to have loaded network
modules and to effectively have a connection.
Do not misunderstand me, I do not want to say that it is hard for me to
choose my language, just that if what you want is to reduce the number of
question to have an install process which can do everything automated,
such trick could help.
PS: 1 have read the whole discussion, but I see no interest in guessing
why linux is not as used by users as windows... Or, to me more honest, I
only play with that kind of troll topic on a forum I am used to, hidden
behind a pseudo.
