Description Karl Eichwalder 2009-07-08 08:03:50 UTC

[I think I already complained in the past similarly.]

Why do we use selection options instead of an option box?  I think instead of

   ( ) Do not use NIS
   (x) Use NIS

we could use a simple option box:

   [x] Use NIS

Other modules are probably affected by the same issue.


If we'd put "[x] Start Automounter" and "Expert..."  on the same line, the dialog would fit in a standard xterm.

Yes, e.g. LDAP or Kerberos modules. But for LDAP and Kerberos, radiobuttons have more sense, and I'd like to keep all related modules somehow with similar look.

If it does not fit into xterm, it is a problem, although I'd like to solve it different way than removing that radio button...
