The After screen will indicate what setup is going to do, the before screen |
13 |
indicates what was there before. It gives users a better indication on what |
14 |
will be done. If they load a previously created setup file, it is not |
15 |
obvious if the creator of the setup file included partitioning information |
16 |
or if they have to set it up themselves. |

I'm assuming at least a little linux knowledge, didn't know the installer |
36 |
was designed for noobs. :) /sarcasm |
37 |
Could get it through one of the many communication applications included |
38 |
(ex. Firefox). How would you expect them to get the install profile there? |
