I was actually planning a near-complete rewrite of sysinstall anyway! How
about everyone throwing in whatever suggestions you would like ( about
anything regarding sysinstall ), and I will try to incorporate them!?
The things I am specifically going to focus on are:
1. depretzel the GUI from the logic and modularize.
2. implement scripting capability so we can control the user's path
through the various menus from a script file of sorts.
3. possibly make stand alone post-install GUI based utilities for
fdisk/disklabel and other configuration functions.
