100% agreed. You do not know in advance what options will not be shown
in non-advanced mode (e.g. custom filesystem layout, MBR at a different
partition, etc.). As a CLI expert I'm considering myself all but a GUI
expert, but I never understood how people can "guess" the corect answer
to this kind of undefined questions (like "do you want basic or advanced
install mode?").
