The install itself runs from X. The splash screen may be a vga16fb
thing, but it seems more like a reprogrammed lilo (it seemed to use
/etc/lilo.conf for the menu). Probably lots of custom poking of the
VGA registers...
I found the Faux95 GUI ultimately distracting; it looks like a bad
cross between KDE and 95, with very clunky fonts for some odd reason.
Win9x installs may suck, but the M$ GUI at least looks reasonably
slick (even at 640x480).
