questions about flight7

[Mitchell Brown]

Hi guys,
Didn't know where to dump this little speel so I thought it would work
right here :)
Okay, well, I just downloaded Flight 7 and am writing this from it
right now. Few little querks I noticed, not sure if they're isolated.

1) On my dads box, when I loaded it up, the custom partitioner
(QTParted) that was embedded into the installer, was about 20*20
pixels. It was shrunk down so small it was unusable. You could fix it
by maximizing the installer, which would increase the width and length
to the normal areas, but the width would be about 50pixels too big,
and all of the controls weren't usable (scroll bar for one). Just
thought I'd point this out.

2) In the installer, where you have to pick the region, I wouldn't
have the seperate little sections in the dropdown for america and
europe and stuff. I'd just put them like "America/Edmonton" instead of
putting "Edmonton" under a seperate heading. For a moment, when i was
looking for Edmonton, I didn't see it in there, and thought in horror
that you guys didn't have it on there!

3) I think there should be a way to use the good ol' fashioned
plain-text installer without needing a seperate disk. Is there a way
to incorporate it into the boot menu?

4) The colors on 5.10 for the bootup screen were more appealing IMHO.
The dark plain blue isn't as nice (thats just my opinion).

5) I really really liked the login manager/splash in 5.10 - the blue
steel look was alot nicer (again, IMHO) then the new white. It just
felt, IDK, cleaner.

Other then those, I'm very satisfied with this release. It's very
nice. And I like the livecd/installcd combined idea. It's alot easier
for a n00b to figure out -- the installer just needs a little work!
hehe. Plus, I'd really like to see Firefox in there as well. It's only
20MB tops.

So yes, if anyone knows how to fix the thing with QT not showing up
properly, that'd be great -- awesome version guys. Keep up the good
work.
