Here is my logical sequence of installation steps.

1 : Set up the disk ( Partitioning, format etc...  Includes adding
 mount points for DOS partitions etc... 	

2 : Select weather it will be a caned install or a choose my own 
 files thing.
	a : Server
	b : Desktop
	c : Install everything
	d : Choose categories
	e : Select individual packages

3 : depends on the choice in 2 and may be nothing or a further 
 selection screen

4 : device setup ( detection and selection of all things )

5 : Copy files while you play Tetris or configure usernames, 
 ip addresses, PPP etc...  

6 : Reboot.  That should be all.
