It is a great idea Gonéri!. Really, it is tedious to change from OCS-NG Agent to FusionInventory Agent in an environment with a high number of computers. It is easy to add a new command line option in the new installer like, for example, /uninstall-ocsng-agent, to remove a previous OCS-NG Agent. I think the visual or graphical installation mode should not show this possibility; it should be a command line possibility. I think it is easy and useful but I do not know whether it is suitable. You decide.
