What? X? That's just too much of a requirement. X is associated with
pain in my mind.
As long as it's stable, and doesn't come with unpredictable
behavior and crappy design. I am sick of the crappy FreeBSD
installer segfaults which make me restart the process several times
before I get what I want from it without a segfault.
Take a look at the OpenBSD installer. Simple and it works, never
a segfault, or a dialog loop. Take a look at the Debian installer for
some design ideas.
