I have been changing only the instance files, so we are going in different directions. I do not really care what file we are going into, but there is a lot of code in the installer now that does not tell the user a step is being done, while instances do that through the step interface. The step interface is also a very good way to let someone that read the code see what is going on and follow each step. Are you proposing to stop going through the instances steps ? I found the current way kra and ca installation is setup basically a regression, it took me a *lot* longer that it should be needed to follow through all the steps that are really taken.
