Never heard such a stupid e-mail! If you do not like the installer, learn how to fix it and do it! I came from Linux and found the installer different to Debian installer, but as soon as I understood it I think it is great! You are the amateurish, not the installer. Your card is well supported in X window, it has nothing to do with kernel driver. You need to read the manual first, you can find it in the install CD, or in the /usr/share/doc/ directory. Good luck.
