My problem (the failure while installing the base system) happens in
both, the graphical and the text mode installer.

I'd suspect there's something wrong with the underlying routines (as
also L. Nodden noted).

A working and solid keyboard only installer would be fine for me - and
i think for most users: It's all about being well explained, input
error tollerant and solid ...

(I could even live fine with an i3 based desktop, when it is well
done ;) ).

Cheers.
