There could be a secret (e.g. not listed anywhere on the installer
screens) key or key combination (F8 or shift-F8 perhaps?) which plops
the user into /Advanced Mode/ (put on sunglasses and rev engine here)
which would allow all the extra choices, but wouldn't clutter the
interface for average users. Thereby we can service both Jim's
super-user-friendly wishes /and/ the power-hungry cravings of devs and
power users.

I agree with antony.Two installers,which can be downloaded,or

users willjust use the easy installer.So,perhaps two different
installers would be a great idea.I mean,I prefer advanced
installations,so I have more power/control over what does what.For
example,when I installed FDOS 1.1,I only needed it as a temporary OS
(My harddrive formatted somehow,and I needed to wait until I could
find my old windows key).I only installed the base packages,with a few
GUI packages.

I have my own opinion of this. Because simple is not always
better. In fact it will be difficult to add things.
The user does also have its own opinion in what they want and do.
That's the same if you (in FDBASECD.iso) delete the xfdisk in
FDBASECD you need too install the boot manager by yourself there.
If fdisk is away you couldn't boot it. Maybe this is exaggerated.
But it is the same with choice. You can't get a installer without
choice. Eventually you lose people with that because they can't
get it in our "street" then somewhere else.
I make this point here. But it is true.
