Off the top of my head the difference it that the Novice install runs you through the steps of the install in the most logical order and nothing more. I would say if people are getting the impression that Anatoly has that it probably be renamed because IMHO it really is more convienient without sacrificeing any functionality. I'm not sure what I would call it since "Standard" might give a similar impression to "Novice". Maybe, stanard, express, selective, could be the three installation types.
