	As a computer user who happens to be blind and who has
done a ton of FreeBSD installs the headless way, I hope any new
installer will not absolutely require a GUI. If it can run in a
GUI mode, fine, but I hope it will still let one connect via a
serial port and direct the process that way.

	If the simple stuff works, there are less chances for
the law of unintended consequences to rule.
