Don't even get me started on the Sun installer.  I've never used the 
GUI version of it, and really the text installer is pretty damn easy, 
BUT, I had to do it a few weeks ago for a client who didn't have 
another computer or a terminal for me to attach to this headless box, 
so I installed via a terminal emulator on my PalmPilot.  Mind you, 
this isn't a problem with the Sun installer, but just thinking about 
it gives me hand cramps now.
