Um, given that our installation is directed by sysinst, having screenshots
and describing them sure seems the right thing from a user's POV, and
not doing so for technical reasons seems suboptimal.

I like the idea of reusing the INSTALL.* sources, maybe they can be
augmented with comments like "insert partitioning screenshot here" that
can be pulled in for the guide then.
