Same for the MacOS Vise Installer (which I like better than InstallShield, BTW). IMO, this was the general idea behind package sections, but that is long over-lived for our purposes. I just don't want tasksel to fall to the same fate. We need an all emcompasing selection GUI that is irregardless of the archive format (which currently, task-* packages does) and can be used by newbies and hardcore's alike. -- -----------=======-=-======-=========-----------=====------------=-=------ / Ben Collins -- ...on that fantastic voyage... -- Debian GNU/Linux \ ` [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] ' `---=========------=======-------------=-=-----=-===-======-------=--=---'
