Sounds like a great idea! Did you ever program using curses? The ncurses lib is great for such tasks: easy to make thinks look like good old SAA/CUA 'standard' or like the way old textmode SuSE YAST looks. And there are lots of good curses tutorials on the web... IM(h)O having a stable textmode installer would be more valuable than having a GUI installer - but of course that does NOT mean that a GUI installer would be wasted time: I just would not make this /before/ the textmode program is running and stable. ;-) Karl-Heinz - -- Karl-Heinz Zimmer, Senior Software Engineer, Klar�lvdalens Datakonsult AB <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> "For every complex problem there is an answer that is clear, simple, and wrong."
