No, I'm not joking, Phill :-D Ubiquity should not be the only installer, because it has a heavy foot-print, as you wrote. I certainly agree with you about that.
But I think many people 'need it' to set up their system in an advanced way, with several partitions or with OEM. For OEM it is enough to include ubiquity in the tarball and not in the installer (live system). We can consider that. -o- But I suggest that we do *not* include ubiquity in the present version of ToriOS. The alternate installer is an entirely different concept without a live session. It would create a doublet system, that I do not think we should bother about for ToriOS. The OBI needs much less RAM than the alternate installer, and it is much faster and much more stable, particularly with low end computers. Who needs a very complicated partition system on a very old and weak computer? I think some people want it, but do they really need it? Many people (including me) are happy with one root partition, one swap partition and a *data partition*, that need not be included in the system setup, and that can be managed separately for pictures, music, video, etc). This is easily set up with gparted and used by the OBI at the advanced OBI level. It might be different in a more powerful computer, but then ubiquity can do the job.
