I wouldn't saying installing is a proving ground but it is a learning tool. I don't like the idea of a installer either. I have installed form a CD that had a installer and I always did it manually. It is faster and you only have to do it once. If you use a installer, you end up doing it again anyway. There will be something the installer set up that is not the way you want it to be and you have to change it. I have to say, of all the things the -devs have on their plate to deal with, a installer shouldn't be one of them. It's not like there is enough devs and some are just sitting around with nothing to do. I would guess that they wish they had more time to deal with what they currently have in front of them. My opinion, agree with it or not. Dale :-) :-)
