Hi, Very nice! If you plan on making this the official installer, I would strongly advice against replacing the old installer completely untill "netinst" images are provided. With "netboot" or "bussinesscard" builds, install process can break due to external changes in the archive, which seems highly undesireable. OTOH netinst is self-contained, and can even install without a network connection. -- Robert Millan The DRM opt-in fallacy: "Your data belongs to us.
