Working in VirtualBox or Qemu is probably the easiest way to get screenshots of the installation. The installation CDs need help staying slim and rewriting the installer would add a lot to the weight, not to mention cost a lot of work. VirtualBox and Qemu are available now and snapshots also facilitate exploring various choices during particular stages of installation.
