That is as long as the hardware has graphical capabilities. A text (curses) based installer would also allow installation on systems with serial consoles (like traditional *nix system). A well designed curses application is just as easy to use (though does not offer the eye candy) as a graphical WIMP based one, and it takes less room on the install media, does not need the complexity of auto-detecting the graphics hardware, monitor capabilities etc. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
