[Ubuntu-ch] Linux Install Event Experience

[Daniel Stoni]

Hello Stephen

thank you for the feedback. We were following similar approach but had
to give up investigations towards that direction early in development.

there are planned options for swissremix:
- structure & content of the dvd remains the same more or less
- if there is anyone around who knows how to achieve desktop selection
at boot time we will implement it. The chain of gfxboot menu,
preseeding, kernel variables handling and ubiquity behaviour is not
quite easy to manage while maintaining one installation source and the
current strengths at the same time.
- menu options useless on certain desktop variants should be hidden
- users can extend an original ubuntu installation with swissremix ppa
- if they do, they can select groups of suggested packages for installation

Please send further ideas and observations to bugs at teamubuntu.ch

Kind regards, dsto
