Hi,

another thing you could do with the new installer is let someone choose the
software they want to start with, I know not many people are gonna use both
clause mail and thunderbird at the same time, for instance they type the name
of
the package, and if its available, it gets installed
Both are already installed by default in Slint.
the core accessibility packages will get installed
Done.
but anything else people can choose what they want
xfce is quite accessible and can be extended with the wisker menu, which looks
like an old style windows start menu
the xfce4-whiskermenu-plugin war available @
https://slackbuilds.org for
Slacwkare 14.2 but it seems nobody maintain it for Slackware 5.0
unity is outdated and has never been packaged for slackware, but it is
accessible,
Nobody will package this for Slackware or Slint with its many dependencies,
sorry.
you could have minimal mate and standard mate, minimal mate gives you the core
mate packages but not a lot of the mate apps, and standard mate is, well a
standard mate desktop configuration followed by the brisk menu
A complete mate desktop will be included in slint 5.0, including the brisk menu.
In addition, the installer will propose to install KDE and/or LXQt and/or XFCE
but a more a more fine grained modularity will not be provided by the installer
by lack of the needed infrastructure. Plus I need to keep things as simple as
possible, being the only maintainer of the installer and more generally of the
Slint distribution. So there are features available in distrubtions with dozens
or hundreds of contributors that alas can not make their way in Slint, sorry.
Cheers,
Didier
