As for the desktops, the problem is the same like on Linuxes: there is no
kind of standard.
I have ever trusted the GTKstep and the KDEstep - now NEWstep from David
Johnson - as the 'standard' visual frontends.

As for the installation tool, 'sysinstall' works perfectly, and what's most
important, it is GUI independant, therefore keeping itself 'neutral' respect
to any visual taste.

In my opinion, 'sysinstall's look is the very last problem here.
