Hello everyone,
I would like to propose a more simplistic installer for the ubuntu live cd installer. I think that the old installer is a little "heavy". I also think that installers should just do an installation. The installers should not be overloaded with "graphical charms". Also, a more minimal installer would allow easier installation in a netbook, where the screen is not big enough to fit the ubuntu installer window. Finally, I think this design will be more accessible for disabled people, because it uses more texts than images.


---Sorry for my bad English. I am not a native English speaker---

My wish is to simplify the language referring to Windows partitions in /boot/grub/grub.cfg. The current language is in terms that only a Unix geek could love: "Windows 7 (loader) (on /dev/sda1)." This does not contribute to resolution of bug #1.

I am an advanced intermediate user of Linux, so I know exactly what the line means. But a less experienced user of my multi-boot machine might well be confused. I would prefer "compromise" language: for example, "Microsoft Windows 7 (installed on /dev/sda1)."

This way, the *ix user knows which is the Windows partition; the Windows user sees a term that s/he recognizes.

Following an answer to a Launchpad question on this point, I am submitting this idea both to brainstorm and as a wishlist bug.
