Assume Henri is too young      to remember first graphical installer.

Though a new graphical installer may be very nice as an option,
let it not ever be the only way: Remember blind installers,
non VESA supported consoles, non X recognised chips, serial line
controlled installs, & non intel/AMD platforms with broken 
graphics terminal support. (Sparc maybe ? more later ?)
