Hi.
As far as I can remember, ToriOS was targeted for casual users that are using old (and likely slow) hardware.
While ToriOS 1.5.0 is already good for the old system, the OBI installer (both GUI and TUI) are still not user friendly. From my observation, it leaks several of the options that a casual user won't really care (or at all) and this will only lead to further confusion.
One example is number 3. from this email - https://lists.launchpad.net/torios-dev/msg01622.html
"I found the locales thing really baffling, as to what to actually
choose, I did find en-gb iso-8859-1. Which is meaningless to me, We
need a section that really explains this in plain language in the
manual. I don't get asked about locales with Debian or don't seem to."
Thanks. |

And not just that. I believe the first window after OBI splash screen should only give you two options for ToriOS installation.
Basic and Advanced with description text about each choice will do and what the user should expect, and only expose the related options for each section.
For example:
after splash screen window
---------------------------
* Basic (default)
If you don't know which option to choose, select this.
* Advanced
Partitioning, disk encryption, etc
or something like above.
Thanks. |

and then for basic installation window
--------------------------

or if user selected advance option
-----------------------------------
* install into custom partition
* install with latest tarball (testing)
* make custom tarball (testing)

And not just that.
My proposal will be -
the first window after OBI splash screen should only give you language choice option for ToriOS installation.
Then, a window that contains Basic and Advance with description text about what each choice will do and what the user should expect, and only expose the related options for each section.
For example:

---------------------------
