There are much better ways to implement text-based menu systems than
using...
Mentioning menu systems is an incorrect idea too, read bellow.
My point was that if the OP actually has an interest in creating a
text based menu system, (which might be an interesting programming
project for somebody new to a UNIX like system), then basing it on
lynx, html, and javascript is completely not the traditional UNIX
like way of thinking.
The current installer is almost perfect as it is. My biggest gripe is
that the openssl command line tool isn't included on the ramdisk. I
certainly have no interest in a menu system for it.
