The reason why we have a draft curses installer is because John actually wrote it. We may be able to adopt an existing graphical installer, but to my knowledge nobody has investigated this closely enough yet. The curses installer currently is the closest we have to an installer. If you feel motivated to take on the work to explore existing GUI installers, do not let us stop you :) Originally, we wanted to have an installer that does not hide the Scheme configuration and lets users play with it. We wanted to have something that is a step up from manually following the steps outlined in the manual. -- Ricardo GPG: BCA6 89B6 3655 3801 C3C6 2150 197A 5888 235F ACAC https://elephly.net
