Alpha1650Hi. I couldn't find any entry in your FAQ or ToDo, so I'll ask here: Are there any plans to add some kind of "semi-expert/intelligent mode" to Ubiquity? I think about two different things: a) questions to the user, which software he wants to have/use (thunderbird <> evolution, firefox <> epiphany, amarok <> rhythmbox, totem <> vlc, openoffice <> abiword/..., ...) and b) some kind of hardware detection that avoids installing 12:13
user___myself just a guest here, but isnt there also a point to the fact that the user doesnt have to answer all these question during install? 1. new users might not know the program names. 2. ubuntu does come with a reasonable prefetch12:17
Alpha1650user___: I also thought about this. I don't want to replace the current version, just add the possibility to do this stuff if you want to. I know it's a big advantage for non-experienced users to have a quite huge amount of software installed so they needn't search long for an apropriate program to do common things. But on the other hand all the computers are different in many ways and I think Ubuntu will always become bigge12:25
user___Alpha1650: i guess submitting a patch is the best way to get your idea upstream. alternative: join a distro which focuces more on your idea than ubuntu. just browse distrowatch.com12:29
