Has anyone given any thought to writing a very simple, separate installer for debian? It could contain a very simple set of menu options, one of which is "custom install" or "expert mode" which would call up dselect as usual. The other options could be some canned sets of packages (with the required disk space for each canned set). This seems a whole lot easier than rewriting the most powerful tool in the distribution just because it is non-intuitive for new users to install from. I'd rather have written this message after developing such a tool and said, "Hey have a look at this", but I still don't understand the packaging system enough to take something like this on. Just a thought. Richard G.
