I was reminded of a recent xkcd comic while installing Inform 7 today: [img_assist | nid=401 | title=Inform 7 Installer | desc= | link=popup | align=none | width=640 | height=500] (yellow highlight [poorly] added by me). This is not a knock against Inform’s installer, I’ve noticed it several times lately. |
Each time I go “whoah, that’ll use 1/2 of my harddrive… wait a second.” It really would be better if installers could provide some sort of scale to make it more obvious that you are using .05% of your available space, not 53%.
