Extra packages installation #8

Closed salva09 closed 4 years ago

I'm thinking if this feature it's okay in the advanced options, or maybe could be better to show a prompt during the installation "Would you like to install an extra packages?", so the average user could install the packages listed there.

@paperbenni what do you think?

paperbenni commented 4 years ago

single quote the multiline text and prompt and double quote the whole command defining the variable

And I'll maybe change some of the packages available but other than that, it's very mergeable :)

Thank you :') And what about taking it out from advanced and put it in the normal installation flow?

paperbenni commented 4 years ago

The normal installation flow asks things that concern the OS installation and are needed to install. It should be possible to install instantOS as a "normal" user that wants to browse the web, do emails or gaming. There needs to be no "I don't know what to choose here and will quit because I don't want to mess anything up" moment. So no, it won't get added as a mandatory step because it is not mandatory and would add unnecessary complexity for people who don't need it.
