Only add GUI installer if it allows added functionality. Since text mode can do everything GUI mode can do (with less overhead), there is absolutely no reason to introduce a GUI installer. Let's diverge onto discussing functionality that should be added to the installer. If ever it becomes "necessary" for some functionality to have a GUI installer, then let's think about adding GUI mode.
