I did not see that.
I never liked executable installers. Everything that is wrong about
software distribution on Windows in the end boils down to the use of
executable installers...
The things I dislike about Windows have nothing to do with executable
installers. I've come across them many times on Windows and Unix systems, and
don't dislike them unless you have to start installing java and other things to
run the installer.
Google Earth, Mathematica and VirtualBox all have their installers built with
makeself on Linux.
NB.
At one point Solaris could run on machines with less RAM than the minium
specified. However, it was not possible to install it on such systems as the GUI
installer used more RAM. But it was possible to install with a lot of RAM, then
remove some RAM!
But 'makeself' is only a shell script.
