Hey, why is everyone starting to talk about graphical installers?
Sure, they're nice, but consider,
how many people use vcast or xsorcery? (I know 90% of the people who read
this don't even know what I'm talking about)
All of sorcery is console-based, I think it would be a little
lying-on-the-package if the installer was graphical.
If they get a text-based installer on the ISO, they know what to expect
on the installed system.
Just my 2 cents about graphical installers
So Far,
Karsten
