I think Sparky probably loses a lot of potential users because the install program, at least for Openbox-no-codecs, gives too little guidance in the partitioning section. The installer version has so little guidance that most beginners will probably just be taken in never-ending circles. The easy-install route works quickly and smoothly, but the instalation may end up with a 18GB swap on a computer with 16 GB ram and 60 GB hard drive - not really a very desirable combination.
