Sounds cool! So if I slap your boot floppy inside all_cd.iso's, we should end up with a working install CD ? Any chance you could send me the 1.44 image for that? (or is it available somewhere online?) > no idea what to put in the “all” package list. No idea either. To be honest, the whole "install all" idea is a heresy to me. I'd expect only the base things to be installed, and if I want anything else, I can fdinst / fdnpkg it (using the repositories on the CD, or network). But well, if people want this, then whatever :) I simply won't use it ever myself. > However, there is an issue with using FDINST. If a package is already > installed, it creates an error.

I think that "already installed" doesn't mean that it can be skipped anyway, because it might be installed, but in an older version. Maybe best would be to try a FDINST REMOVE for every package, and then only FDINST INSTALL ? This way we are sure we end up with the 'right' versions of everything.
