Bug Description

The installation for 10/.04 and 10.10 operates well - except for one Massive Anomaly
that has trapped me both times, causing me to have to start the reinstall.

During install we arrive at an Input Screen which enquires as to which services we
need - Audio ? Video ? etc.

This screen is very poorly explained and the explanation that does exist leads the installer astray very easily.
IT'S SO HAIRTRIGGER that it flies on into the remainder of the installation without any RealTime
software being actually selected - which is very sad seeing how Studio is tipped as the
mother of all RealTime beasts - - -

In 10.04 I had to start the installation again. In 10.10, (on a different machine) I will try to get
the Audio system running post a basic install - not much luck so far.

SOLUTIONS TO THE ISSUES

Problem 1 - Poor command annunciation. The arrow keys have to be used - they
are not mentioned in the text Menu, down on the bottom line. Unless the arrows
are used properly, then few options get ticked - - -

1B - It's not clear which keys do what. Suggest that the "Continue" command be a
Function Key, so that it's difficult to go forward until completely finished with
choosing choices.

Problem 2 - No "Are you Sure?" Input Screen. This can save the day, if present.

Problem 3 - No chance to go back to correct mistakes. The "R U sure?" box
should allow a return to the options so they can be modified before
proceeding.

Thanks
Ken
