Current version of get-fedora Craig and i were working on (i hope to get
a chance to work on that soon) just uses some javascript to hide each
step with a fancy animation, but it can be avoided as well, its just a
matter of changing some parameters and we get something pretty much like
what opensuse actually has. 

Again the i386 issue with the users... we should really start thinking
in "standard computer/laptop" kinda names for each architecture, which
really seems to make things easier for normal users
