hi

glad to announce the first snapshot of the fully rewritten (in c) setup

missing features
================

- postconf: only grubconfig is called after the setup, mouseconfig,
  netconfig, xconfig, etc is missing
- gettext is disabled currently

bugs
====
- there are some whitespace bugs in the expert-menu question

what is working
===============

- except the post-installation config stuff (mouseconfig, xconfig,
  timeconfig, etc) every feature of the old setup should be implemented
- installing the base and the network section gave me a bootable system

new features
============

- completely plugin-based, the core is less than 200 line
- it's possible to extend this to a graphical installer (the one written
  in bash was not)
- if you hit a cancel or other "wrong key", then in most cases it will
  confirm you about you want to exit from that dialog - i hope this way
  more newbie will be able to install frugalware without any problem
- the partitioning section now uses libparted which means it's fully
  platform-independent, it should work without any problem even on ppc
- etc

so please test it, and send bugreports to the bts!
