To me - it's the GUI - I'm an old DOS guy - When you get to my age it's all about the functionality - not the appearance.

Not the fact it was a script or no GUI. For example, you could pick out the errors a bit more easier I think and you could run it from a certain point again. Would be nice to just get those bits in the GUI installers I guess. -----Original Message----- From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:arslist@ARSLIST.ORG] On Behalf Of pritch Sent: 12 August 2011 22:18 To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Subject: Re: ARS 7.6.04 -- Installers (in general) Just irritates us old geezers.

The command line intimidates most folks. Even the CEO if IBM once said he couldn't see computers in people's homes. The graphical interface appeals to the masses. Doesn't mean it's better, just easier, for the masses, that is.
