Comment (by pulkomandy):

 I find the tabs somewhat overkill for such a simple application.
 What about using popup menus instead, or putting the two lists one above
 the other in the left area ?

 Remember this is supposed to be a simple message asking the user if she
 wants to install or use liveCD mode. With tabs,one needs 4 clicks to get
 out (language; keymap tab; keymap; install/live), not mentionning
 scrolling the lists if needed.
