Hey Jakub,

The installer is just a first test for installing OM via script, the next few 
iterations will include upgrades, removal, backup restore etc...

I don't see any mess in the root file system, everything is contained in the 
/usr/adm folder that can be removed if you want after installation, everything 
else is in the standard "Debian" places.

A Deb file would of course be beneficial for many.

Best Regards

Wow, tnx! I did not found auto installer earlier.
I thought about crating DEB file. Auto Installer is great attempt to automate 
installation, but it generete some mess in root filesystem.
I think DEB package would be more elegant solution.

For example: what if I would like to upgrade OpenMeetings, or remove it?

Making a DEB package also creates posibility to include it in Debian official 
repositories. (so end-user have to type: apt-get install openmeetings... and 
that's it!)

By the way: I installed OpenMeetings on Debian (on virtual machine) by hand, 
and it works like a charm. Now I think about set it up in production enviroment.
