Comment 18 for bug 694328

I was probably wrong to think that people would understand what “this” in a checkbox referred to, if understanding it required reading a 39-word paragraph beforehand. Adding separators to group the paragraph with the checkbox, as I suggested, might have helped a little but not much.

So, I’ve redesigned this step to put all the important stuff in the checkbox label: “Install third-party software for graphics and Wi-Fi hardware, Flash, MP3 and other media”. Then the necessary-but-less-interesting text goes in the caption underneath. (The sentence “Fluendo MP3 plugin includes MPEG Layer-3 audio decoding technology licensed from Fraunhofer IIS and Technicolor SA.”, missing from this wireframe, should be in the caption too.)

(This design also abolishes the checklist — which consists entirely of things the computer can check for itself! — and adds necessary Secure Boot configuration. But both are independent of this bug.)
