They're not.  They require X to be running and that's right out for a
_baseline_ installer since it A) can't count on X being a workable

_desired_ item on things like dedicated ISP servers which don't even
have VGA cards in them.

> Yes, I agree with that.  Do we want sysinstall II to be more complex?  

More comprehensive, anyway.
