Disk Management
Partition Managing disk partitions <============ non-verb
Label Label allocated disk partitions
Fix: use verbs consistently
Partition Manage disk partitions
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Login/Group Management
Exit
...
Console
Exit Exit this menu (returning to previous) <============ too verbose

Fix: be consistent
Console
Exit

Same for other menu:
Mouse

Same for other menu:
Security
<<< Exit Exit this menu (returning to previous) <============ too
verbose, and <<< too ?

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Console
Repeat
Slow <============== highlighted
...
Default <============== wrong position in menu
Fix: place default menu items at top, highlighted, so they can be selected
immediately by hitting ENTER
Default <============== highlighted
Slow

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Console
...
Saver
1 Blank Simply blank the screen <============ too verbose
...
d None Disable the screensaver <============ wrong position
...
Fix: place it (default) at top of menu, highlighted (btw, you did it right
under Screenmap and Ttys menus ...)
Saver
1 None Disable the screensaver
2 Blank Blank screen <======== better than "Simply blank the screen"
...
NOTE:
The choice of selectors is too limiting: 1-9,a,...,z <============
Make it consistent and almost unlimited: 1,...,99 or 1,...,999
Leave alpha chars (a,...,A,...) for command selectors, e.g. Timeout.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Timezone
It would be good to tell the user the difference between UTC and local time
selection for multi-boot OS users:
if the other OS manages and adjusts the local time, then users should select
local time.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
>How-To-Repeat:
