11/07/2001 Entry: "7-Nov-2001 -- Red Hat's Installer"

Red Hat's Installer (diveintomark) -- "This all sounds quite reasonable, and in fact it is much friendly than it used to be (when your only choice was braving the partition manager), but notice that it's task-oriented instead of goal-oriented. Installing Linux on unpartitioned free space is not a goal; installing Linux while keeping my existing Windows 2000 installation intact is a goal." (Comments: This is a case study, but it is very good. Several important usability concepts are brought to light. Enjoy!)
