But if so: Shouldn't we investigate the installer? I mean, it's not
really user friendly to have an installer subject to that kind of
errors. And in my experience there are even other problems like the
overheating problem for amd graphics based machines, at least for some
of them. Or the fact, that the installer seems to not install the base
system it brings itself but seems to pull it from the mirrors.

Anyway, i'm well aware human ressources at Devuan are limited but the
installer should be worth a major consideration (?)

Since it is a universal OS. I would suggest we disable the graphical installer if it causing people to be put off. This may sound like heresy, but the text base installer is not minimal and it is fully functional.

I remember back in the days when Debian got the graphical installer, it was to be treated as BETA quality and if it didn't work, to use the text base.

I think the same applies here. Maybe we need to put a "use with caution" note. I think there was something like this on the original Debian graphical installer.

We are not so spoiled that we need to use a mouse for everything, are we?
