It's too late to change this in F13 due to the string freeze. It'll have to wait for F14. And yes - all the new screens can be controlled via kickstart. The screen you're referring to is really just a UI on top of the clearpart command. |
Description of problem: In the storage devices dialog window that is shown early in the anaconda installation procedure, the language used to denote the two categories of storage devices is inconsistent, and hence unclear when encountered for the first time. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): anaconda-13.37.2-1.fc13 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. Perform OS installation. 2. Observe storage devices dialog window ("Below are the storage devices you've selected to be part of this installation."). Actual results: The message at the top uses the terms "data drives" and "system drives", yet the tables below it are headed "Data Storage Devices" and "Install Target Devices". Expected results: A better correspondence between what is described and what is actually shown. Additional info: Suggested fix: Change "data drives" to "data devices". More importantly, change "system drives" to "install target devices" (i.e., match the table header verbatim). Also, if it's possible to be brief, it would be nice to have some explanation of just what a "data storage device" might be used for (data storage, I suppose). An opportune place would be after the parenthetical "these will not be formatted, only mounted". (BTW, is there a way to specify the "Install Target Devices" in a kickstart file, so this new dialog window isn't shown; and if there is, is it documented?)
