The difficulty level is *very* different depending on the hardware and BIOS. I agree it is way too hard for the average user on many computers, but there are also many of them, where I think it is easy enough, if the 'average user' is happy with a default installation without dual booting or special partitioning. I'm afraid we cannot expect a one-button (or two-button) approach to 1. make the installation media 2. perform the installation because the average beginner starts from Windows or Mac. So I think the dialogue is necessary in the Ubuntu Forums, our mailing lists and facebook community. And the wiki pages must be easy to read for [average] beginners. I think it is important that everybody helps finding wiki pages that are too hard for beginners, suggests what to change and helps doing it. I'm a newbie as a wiki page editor, and I probably write too complicated text. And English is not my first language. So please help making it easier! What should we do with a complicated and/or slightly outdated wiki page (there are many)? Remove/replace it, or make a simple general one, with a link to that wiki page.
