Ok, I understand memory constraints… maybe it is possible to offer to version of
installer ? One minimal version to small memory support and another extended
support ?
I'm not agree with "too many options that are confusing for users".
See Ubuntu example, it's very easy to use.

It's very boring to :
* enter "domain name" with bad keyboard layout
* enter "user name" with bad keyboard layout
* enter "pasword" with bad keyboard layout
What do you think with the idea of two Debian installer version ? small and
extended ?

Stephane
