> --no-migration-assistant Thanks, didn't know about this one. But would an average user giving Ubuntu a try know it? They might be willing to try a failed install again saying "No" to the assistant at the start and then succeed installing Ubuntu, which is what I'm concerned about.

However, getting there is hard. Giving people an option to skip it in the meantime is much simpler, and AFAIK Gutsy release is drawing near. And while I'm at it: Is there a reason the m-a couln't be moved to after the main install, so GRUB etc. is already done? Or, better yet (in my view), place an icon on the desktop of the installed system so people can choose to migrate stuff at leisure? Don't get me wrong, I appreciate your work. But I really am concerned that install glitches leave people stumped which might otherwise have given Ubuntu a try. Install has to be fool-proof. The less complexity is placed into it, the better. -- Proposal: Make migration entirely optional https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/149584 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
