The graphical installer, "Easy Installer", is a beta-release. Testers are most welcome, but probably best if you test on a computer that you don't mind if something goes wrong. Well, it may be 100% OK, but at this stage cannot make any guarantees. Well, can never make a guarantee of 100% infallibility.
