I second that. Is debain's installer hard for a first time installer? yes it 
is. Is debain's installer that hard that it's not useable? No, it's not.

Many pleople like the idea of a graphical installer. It makes things, like 
i18n and l10n for some languages possible. But some (like me) can underestand 
that it's hard to develop and maintain such a thing on all these 
architectures. So, do I like a graphical installer? yes, I do, but it's not 
neccessary, a text based but inituative installer, with better hardware 
detection, can be the answer for the debain installer (at least, for the time 
being).
