Why should a graphical installer have less functionality ? And what is wrong 
with some eye candy ? Guys, please, wake up, we don't live in the 70's anymore 
! I'm using pc-bsd. Why ? Cause of the easy and nice installer. It's as simple 
as that. 
And before anyone says "do it yourself", "get a sponsor" or something down 
those lines : if it is all about choice, why not give the people/user the 
choice ? Now I don't have any choice : sysinstall or pc-bsd...
I'm for both : text and graphical :-)
