IMHO numbers and letters look the same in the scary dark place, a TUI, or GUI. Better device detection, faster, more packages, etc. would all be "better" and should be more of a priority than making a GUI installer. I'm a function before form person, so pretty GUI's don't really impress me much. Make it detect my hardware CORRECTLY and install the right stuff fairly quickly and I'm happy! <font size=3D"1"> <div style=3D'border:none;border-bottom:double windowtext 2.25pt;padding:0i= n 0in 1.0pt 0in'> </div> "This email is intended to be reviewed by only the intended recipient and may contain information that is privileged and/or confidential.
