First I want to reiterate someone else's comment -- having a GUI (in the sense you seem to be thinking) doesn't necessarily increase usability. Usability comes from a design that allows the user to do what s/he wants intuitively, not from a pretty look-and-feel. I'm not sure I understand why using gtk-fb, etc helps over using something like bogl. Two of the design constraints/goals for the installer are size and simplicity. What kind of overhead will gtk-fb add? We already have slang-based and bogl(fb)-based UIs in the works. randolph -- Debian Developer <tausq@debian.org> http://www.TauSq.org/
