Description

R5.5 had a logical flow, where users were taken from one setup phase to the next. In the stage two installer in R6.00.04, the first interaction the user has is to answer if they want to run mythtv-setup. Why would a user not want to run mythtv-setup at this point?

If there are "turbo user" reasons to not do it, such as LVM setup, etc., then I recommend changing the Yes/No question to a question of "basic" and "advanced", such as:

Choose your installation complexity:

  • Basic
  • Advanced

Basic would take you through the normal flow, where things are run for you in the expected and logical order. Advanced would drop you into a hole but give you the tools to dig yourself out, essentially mirroring what I expect Yes and No mean in the dialog.
