[freenet-dev] Disk space usage choice in the post-setup wizard

[Matthew Toseland]

Would this make the setup process less user-friendly? Is it worth it anyway?

I suggest setting the default storage to 5GB and putting a real big warning in 
the installation process telling the user something like "The store is only 
5GB by default becuse Freenet needs to be able to run on really OLD machines: 
you should set this value to 25GB or more, trying to aim for several hundreds 
GB"
Insisting a bit more about this point on the website, wiki, faq, etc., would 
also be a good idea.
This would considerably extend the average life of not-hugely-popular files.

Would it make it more obvious if we changed it from a dropdown box to a series 
of radio buttons? So you don't need to click on it to see that you can make 
it much bigger?

Just don't give it a default so the user has to pick something.
