There may never be a perfect solution for all platforms, but perhaps one
possibility would be to support a remote graphical install - boot the new
machine and attach a serial cable to an existing Windows or X machine which
could provide as fancy an install process as we might like. This shouldn't
be the only option of course, many people don't have a notebook or second
machine handy, but it might be useful.
