I don't agree with that. A well written application has to have layers |
| 9 |
and a clear seperation of the real functionality and a superposed gui |
| 10 |
interface divides it very well. This has nothing to do with the quality |
| 11 |
of the gui interface. |

I don't know if this will be possible since some actions need to be |
| 21 |
performed before others are available. What we don't want is to hide the |
| 22 |
commandline from the user, but to provide an assisted setup environment |
| 23 |
that makes a seperate install guide obsolete. |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
Recording the performed actions is however a good idea for unattended |
| 26 |
setups. |
