Since it is a universal OS. I would suggest we disable the graphical
installer if it causing people to be put off. This may sound like
heresy, but the text base installer is not minimal and it is fully
functional.

I remember back in the days when Debian got the graphical installer, it
was to be treated as BETA quality and if it didn't work, to use the text
base.

I think the same applies here. Maybe we need to put a "use with caution"
note. I think there was something like this on the original Debian
graphical installer.

We are not so spoiled that we need to use a mouse for everything, are we?
