Sounds good!
Personally, I would like to view the “wizard” as a helper, and not as
something that hides everything and turns people into “end users.”
I don’t know how this could translate in the design of the tool.
Perhaps showing the ‘operating-system’ declaration as you suggest is one
thing, and making it easy to view the section of the manual that
corresponds to a particular item, or to jump to the code that defines a
specific service (say), would be helpful too.
Thanks,
