Here it comes.... :-)
What's the big deal about XML?? What is it? Why do I want to use
it? Why can't I just use HTML and HTML forms?

That's what modmaker was wasn't it? It wouldn't be hard to list all
of the modules, place them into the right directories, and create the
various packages. In fact, this would be a nice HTML set to add to a
LEAF/LRP CDROM with several kernels and modules precompiled and
included.
The only module that would be affected by this would be modules.lrp -
and it could be added to an image and sent off. Under Linux this
wouldn't be hard at all.... (thinking)...
And all -without- XML...
