| If you have more than one profile, and you use the Distro Wizard, should it make the new profile the Primary (so boot/reboot boots that config)? |

I want to recant my vote. If I already have RedHat 9.0 going and I add Debian to a different disk image, I want RedHat to remain my primary as I installed it first. In other words, most people are going to install their favorite or whatever first, which is basically an indication of what they will want primary.
Of course, this is *most* people.
So, I vote to not make this automatic. |

I noticed that if you have _no_ distributions installed, then install one through the Distro Wizard, it is not checked as default. (At least, it wasn't for me.)
I think the expected behavior would be that the first distribution created is the default, and remains the default, until the user specifies otherwise. If the default is deleted, the user could be asked on the spot to pick a new default configuration, or the next configuration (ordered by creation date) could be picked. That avoids potential confusion while not leaving things wholly untouched. |

I've made a change: The first distro that is installed is marked as the Default.
Also, the way it has worked is: If there is no default profile, it boots the first one it finds.
Remember, this allies only to using the "Boot" button in the small box on the top right of the Members page. Using that button always boots the Default (or first) profile.
Thanks for the suggestion!
