Re: [Vectorlinux-devel] The installer

[M0E L. <m0...@gm...>]

After speaking to uel on IRC, I think I got enough info to start it...
Let's see how this goes...

Looks like we'll have 2 options here

The current installer can do Xdialog...
Now, I'm not sure which would be best, to call the current script and
let it do it's xdialog thing, or to re-master the entire thing in
gambas..

I'm open for suggestions.
