And why is a graphical installer needed or even wanted? As several 
people, including, I believe, Wojciech, pointed out, it would just make 
the installation process slower without adding anything useful to 
functionality. Concentrate on function and flexibility instead of eye 
candy. And I tend to agree with Polyptron about language. I have several 
friends who wouldn't dream of using a system that's English only. Simply 
because they do not understand it well enough.
