If you have to rationalise something not having a nice feature for beginners (like a graphical installer) by saying "do you really need one?", you know you're fighting a losing battle

Thanks for the review Slav, I'm keen to try it out.. installing madwifi by default's pretty good..

I use synaptic on a few fc3 boxes, and it's not bad. I've progressed to just using apt-get command line, but synaptic is still a pretty nice package (although rough around the edges).
