I'm asking if you have any special design plans for the new setup utility, or at least some wishes or something :-) This is how I could imagine a setup-installation: * Be able to switch newbie and expert mode --> newbie mode suggests a given partition-table and does the rest (see Corel Linux installation) -> A three-click installation :) if the newbie wants to fdisk himself, no problem, too. --> semi-professional lets you fdisk and _choose_ between some different installations, e.g. questions, if the ports/X/KDE/GNOME stuff shall be installed. --> expert mode is similar to the current way.
