Hi,

I am highly against reverting. Old installer is not GPT aware and in 
fact is unmaintained for a very long time.

About ftp - its probably needs to be handled better, but most of the 
user i think using cd/dvd image, so it is not an issue. And new 
installer is written on shell, so i think its better to fix broken parts 
then to revert it to outdated and unmaintained code.

P.S. i personally had no problems with a new installer, used it from DVD.
