1) "My network is already set up" should default to on, assuming that the LiveCD can set up the network properly. 2) After clicking Recommended Layout on partitioning, you can't slide around the size anymore. 3) I think the installer should run full-screen. 4) Network mountpoints -- Create new one should be right by the big blank area where they show up, because that's where I intuitively expect it to be. 5) Defaults for GRP and dynamic -- should they be off? 6) More explanation on bootloader install to MBR -- what is an MBR, why should people care about installing there or not? 7) The GLI logo looks more like sorceror linux than gentoo, with the star and the magical-looking hat 8) WTF am I supposed to do on the networking screen? There's no description or anything, and I just want the same settings as the LiveCD gave me. It doesn't default to the first device found, instead defaulting to a blank, which doesn't make any sense. I can't choose from devices in the big white box, which is empty for some reason, despite being able to select eth0 or sit0 in the little interface selector right under it. Intuitively, I expect that white box to show me all the detected devices. Oh, I see when I hit save then it suddenly shows up above. That was very confusing. Instead, I'd like it to show up above automatically, and have a checkbox for whether to apply this network device on the LiveCD to the installed system. Now, are DHCP options things like '-t 5' or things like 'nontp'? They're in different settings in /etc/conf.d/net, but I don't know how that maps over. Will the Delete button delete the interface selected in the big box above, or in the little selector just to the left of it? They're both adjacent so this is non-obvious. Hostname/DNS tab: What if I don't want a DNS domain set? I want it to be effectively commented out. Do I make it blank, or does that do something different? For wireless, there are multiple types of keys; there's the hex, the ascii, or the passphrase. Which is the "Key"? 9) When I'm in the package selection and click gnome, why don't all its deps get auto-clicked? xorg-x11 is still unchecked. Why can I enter space-separated packages when I'm installing dynamically from what's available on the LiveCD? I shouldn't be able to add more. 10) rc.conf: Describe these random variables, they're meaningless without a description. 11) User/password screen Why is there a root password button next to add/delete user, then another root password section below? When I'm adding a user, I feel like leaving a box blank will result in a blank setting rather than the default setting. Can something be done to change this? Ah, but then when I create a user, suddenly that lower root area disappears. That doesn't make any sense. And I can't get it to reappear now, without clicking the root password button. That should either be a completely separate area of this screen or a new screen entirely. 12) Installation I really don't want to see the detailed log info by default. There should be a button to click to get Detailed Info or something like that. Some of the output from mkfs shows as unknown unicode characters. That looks really cheesy. Let's pick a new font, or figure out some way to hide those. Also, there needs to be a label telling people that the overall progress bar is an overall progress bar. It's not clear from sitting on "Unpack stage tarball" for as long as I can stand to watch that it's overall progress. "Install complete!" appears in a not-very-obvious location, so at first glance it looks like the installer froze. Particularly since the last three lines of the log show it trying to emerge a blank string of packages and a nice fat ERROR about it. Also there's no space between the username and "was" in "User ${username}was added." In the debug info, dhcpcd couldn't be quickpkg'd, nor could pciutils, usbutils, mailbase, vixie-cron, etc. Looking farther up in the log, make.conf is edeted 7 times in a row. This doesn't make any sense. 13) After booting, /dev/sda3 wasn't a valid root device so it wouldn't boot up. At this point, I quit fiddling around with it.
