Good.  I was afraid a Perl monger would want to write it.  :-)
(I don't care for Perl)

I'm also not sure that Apache is necessary.  It would be nice to get by
with a smaller web server that supports PHP.  I don't think the web
interface needs many of the advanced features offered by Apache.
But, I could be wrong.  I've only have experience with Apache ...

Yes.  I think a first step would be to decide what should go into the
web interface, what should stay in the ncurses setup, and what should go
in both places.

As an example, I think setting up the basic functions, like network
cards, language, keyboard, etc.  (stuff you normally only do once)
should stay in the ncurses setup.

I think setting up more advanced services (dhcpd, iptables, CIPE, ...)
should go in the web interface.
