> The installer is a plain *sh script. You simply ctrl+c to break out and return to the shell, then run "install" to start the script again

I ended up in situation where that wasn't possible. I wasn't sure how that happened. But it did.

I have done many installations over the years on real hardware and VMs. It only happened once, but it can happen.

I could also bring up the issues with the auto partition layout that is suggest which can make impossible to install any larger of software after installation. Or how the disks can be confusingly labelled in some cases (especially in VMs).

The point being communicated is that it isn't as straightforward as many people claim.

I first started mucking about with it in like 3.8/3.9, and you had to do something which was very archaic (even for 20 years) with calculating partition size, so it has improved.

> I can't see why you would end up with an installation medium containing a different installer than everyone else.

I don't appreciate how you worded this.

I am not lying about my experience. I just can't remember the exact set of steps of what happened because it happened several months ago now.
