I think the sum total annoyance of 85% of users having to click "next", is dwarfed by the annoyance of 15% of users with non-working hardware and no clue what to do or what went wrong, because important information is hidden from them.
How is the information hidden? In fact, if you hardware does not work, it is pretty complicated to find out from the proposal screens. Your hardware will be:
1) misdetected - then, you need to be an expert to figure out
2) not detected at all - here, we might think about how to react in this case, but you are on your own again and you will need to pick up your sound card manually (I personally have no idea which chipset I'm using).
I'm mostly worried about graphics card/monitor settings - which was also a concern on the blog. I don't think you have to be an expert to know for example the best resolution or aspect ratio for your monitor.
When the user installs in graphical mode, can't he already see that it's right or wrong? (and when it's wrong, it should only be a matter of letting him press some key like F12 to change this setting)

When the installer assumes there is not enough memory, it will tell, and change to dos. The few resolutions one can choose of, are not in depth, what are they 8 bit? Not enough for real monitor settings. -- Enjoy your time around, Oddball (Now or never...)
