It would defiantly simplify the process. Just have to make sure the packages meet Jim’s requirements. i.e., opensource, 16-bit, etc... > > I know you posted a link to your installer the other day, but I think > you said you have more to do to it, no?

(Does everything Jim said he wanted. Although, the text could be friendlier.) That being said, there are several things I intend on doing to it before 1.2’s release. I mention most of these in it’s DOC/Manual. If your curious to what they are and the plan is for FDI. https://github.com/shidel/FDI/blob/master/README.md The “Roadmap” is near the bottom. It’s kind of spooky that my stripped down rough draft manual for the Installer is over 300 lines of text.
