kdwin-installer 0.9.0beta4 questions

[M. Lara]

Hi all,

I just wanted to say a great big thank you to everyone making KDE on Windows
a reality, especially Ralf, Saro and Christian!  I'm not a programmer (I'm
part of the "screaming users" that Saro humorously refers to in his news
post) but I am enthused and want to help as much as I can.

I do have a couple of questions about the installer: 

1 - On the Local Storage Settings screen, as an end user I have no clue
whether I want nested directory trees for my download files or not. What are
the advantages/disadvantages one way or the other?  Is this something that I
have to know and choose, or can it automagically go into a directory like
C:\Program Files\Common Files\KDE4?  If it can, I would imagine it would go
there only when the installer can uninstall that directory as well.

2 - Is there any particular reason I can't minimize the installer?  When it
is downloading the necessary files off the internet (which takes a while) I
try to minimize the installer (just to get it out of the way) and do
something else but it won't minimize. It's not a big deal but I was just
wondering about the reasoning.

3 - In the install mode when I pick the End User install mode, initially I
was still left wondering about the compiler mode (Did I have to pick a
compiler type anyway?  Would one type run better than the other?  Did I have
to have a compiler to even run the apps?).  Is there any way that when I
pick an end user install mode the compiler options be grayed out or
something? It might reduce the confusion and/or questions down the road.

4 - Is there a road map as to what the priorities are for the installer
(uninstaller, add to menus, etc.?)

Thanks,
