Radiobuttons!

This is a real multi-tasking OS!
What do you want me to do while installing?

(*) Show progress meter.
( ) Show adverts for other products
( ) Tell me about Linux features
( ) Please ask me to fill in the registrations card
( ) Play pause music
( ) Tell dirty jokes
( ) All of the above
( ) Just shut up
