Text based installer + 1. The alternate CD with console-based UI is good enough IMO if it can have l10n user interface. Windows installer has long been text-based since windows 3.1 and it's still text-based in windows xp. Nobody complains of this so why should we insist that there should be a

It needs to be a base system + X11 Otherwise it won't work. The other problem is the enormous effort and work we need to put in such a project. (e.g. I can promise you lots and lots of bugs, and yes I created an installer for ZevenOS-Neptune on my own, so I have a little experience in this)
