Basically, a ``text'' installer is a misnomer unless you can use it through a serial port. (-: OTOH, answering Yes/No/Panic questions with numbers really is a bit 1970s. I would like to see a DiskDrake that can work with ANSI graphics if need be, and doesn't need a mouse at all. One that would work on a ``glass teletype'' would probably be asking too much. (-: It would also be nice if the graphic installer didn't constantly redraw the while-you-are-waiting images; the flicker is annoying and I'm sure it doesn't help installation speed! -- Nothing enrages me more than when people criticize my criticism of school by telling me that schools are not just places to learn maths and spelling, they are places where children learn a vaguely defined thing called socialization. I know. I think schools generally do an effective and terribly damaging job of teaching children to be infantile, dependent, intellectually dishonest, passive and disrespectful to their own developmental capacities. I think that the examples I have given of learning in a computational environment provide a glimpse of a context for learning in which socialization would be based on a potentiation of the individual, an empowering sense of one's own ability to learn anything one wants to know, conditioned by deep understanding of how these abilities are amplified by belonging to cultures and communities. -- Seymour Papert, LOGO developer
