"Linux Lite is a free easy to use linux based operating system that is suitable for people who are new to linux."
"The purpose of Linux Lite is to introduce Windows users to Linux"
These are your slogans you like to put all over your stuff so that noobs like me who have lots of interest in learning Linux but little knowledge will download your "user friendly" OS....
...and then when I spend alllllll day trying to install it (from a live cd that I can't possibly have messed with and screwed up cuz it's ROM) and it wont go or even tell me that it's stopped, much less WHY it stopped or what I'm supposed to do to fix it, the creator of the thing tells me not to check the boxes that he put there and didn't say not to check....... Why would I think that I'm not supposed to check the box? I did what your software told me to do. Your software that's "easy to use" and "suitable for people who are new".
You should change your slogan to "suitable for people who know to do the opposite of what the installer says because they're psychic and already good at Linux installs."
It wouldn't make me so mad if you didn't say how new person friendly it was 400 times. THE VERY FIRST THING a new person has to do to even put Linux Lite on their computer IS TOTALLY UNFRIENDLY.
Just be honest. You made an Ubuntu variation with a broken installer that you don't care enough to fix or even put some text on there somewhere to tell us not to click what it tells you to click. You could at least put it in the instruction book or.. I dont know, make the installer work right.
Also, I've installed other things with (what looks like to a new person) the same installer and they all worked fine when I did what they asked and clicked the boxes that said they'd do stuff. What did you do wrong? Why is it different?
Linux Lite looks like it'd be pretty cool if you'd ever finish it.
It's definitely not for new people though. Saying otherwise is lying.
