GUI gentoo install?

FMOI, I am interested in hwo many people would like to see a graphical (ncurses-only perhaps, with gpm, maybe with X if you wanted) installation

You would still be able to choose all the optimizations (ie a menu to select the gcc optimizations, same to select use flags), it would echo any bootstrap/system compile failures to the screen (and not just say 'install failed'), configure the dhcpcd settings by a gui, be able to manually edit ALL relevant files as well as gui configuration of them... (and the option of not having a gui install ofc)

how many ppl would be interested in starting up a project (my programming skills are non-existant btw, dont expect me to do it)

There should be a "don't care" condition in the poll.

I like the idea I saw in some chat-log of having a really simple, ncurses-based installer where you have two "frames", one with a shell and one with a more interactive version of the install-guide. You could have some selections and menus in that frame but everything that happens would be shown in the shell-frame.

There are several threads about GUI installers.
