osFree distribution (draft I)
- osFree must use WarpIN as a package manager, with some enhancements
- support for repositories?
- response-file-driven installation:
- response-file can be created manually
- response-file can be created by UI (VIO or PM-based)
- so, installer must be divided into two separate parts:
- UI for choosing user options interactively, it can be:
- textmode UI with pseudographics
- graphical, PM-based
- installation engine, based on WarpIN with plugins.
- it can be started by an experienced user, system administrator, or by the installation UI.
- also, DOS (DPMI)-based version of the installation engine and UI would be desired
- a Linux- or Win32-based version (?)
