Installer for massix

[Luca D. <luc...@gm...>]

Since it has been asked...

I found (quite by chance) a interesting project.
It is a package manager supporting several package
format.
Perhaps we might consider using it for massix distribution.

Anyway, it's not the time. But here it is:

I think we have to use packages, I hope we'll do very
little modifications in others' code.

Indeed, I said it is not time 'cause I have yet to choose
what are the packages.
In particular, I think the first thing is to choose which
apllications should be installed in a network-mounted
file system.
Then, we have to find the right options to ./configure or what
else, to install the files in the correct directories.
Then we have to try and make sure that such a system,
with network-mounted parts, works fine.

I've had little time recently. I will try to make a list
of packages from lfs-book and choose which to
move on-line.
Sure I will post the list and welcome any suggestion.
