this list is for development discussion. not for whining. for example, 
this list is a good place for posting a proposed technical design for 
such an install system. or if that is too ambitious, post a set of 
functional requirements. Or use cases. Or UI mockup. Whining on the list 
is disrepectful to he hundreds of people who dedicate time to read these 
messages.

all you need for installing drupal is ftp and phpmyadmin.
