It may be unrealistic, but I would like an install experience that's
as novice-friendly as the Windows and MacOS installers (but that works
a lot better and doesn't install needless junk on your machine). What
that means to me is that you put a CD in the drive, double-click an
icon, and answer a minimal number of questions, and the rest is done
for you. Of course you should also be able to escape this process and
install the RPM/deb by hand, or build from source, or run the
"friendly" installer and just produce a shell script of commands as
output that you can inspect and run at your leisure.
An installer that can deal with all this is probably a sophisticated
enough piece of software that it would deserve being "its own thing".
