Agreed. If the non-GUI mode of the Bitrock installers is broken, please
report it and let's fix it. If it can't be fixed, maybe we need to use
another installer, but it is not clear what is broken. Are you saying
it is better for non-GUI installs because they don't need to supply a
flag for non-GUI mode? Shouldn't we just document the flag better?
The smaller download does make sense --- it is a leaner install.
I wonder if the OpenSCG text should more clearly state is doesn't
include any GUI componients.
