While I also think convenience in standard cases might be a nice thing,
the installer should have minimal occourance of userfriendlyness and

If it wasn't highly-experimental test-images I'd not have waited the
minute of blank screen after it asked for the IP-address, but thrown
it out and tried aynother image. (Or even distri). Especially if I
