There's that too. I am hoping to make that even more convenient
eventually. I'd like to get rid of all remnants of the GUI when
-q (or some other option) is specified on the command line.
Ahhhh, wouldn't that be nice.
One additional feature that might be useful is a command
line switch that allows a search through the package list
that puts out a list of matches.
Think of it as a grep through setup.ini
On the other hand, once you've installed the base system
it's pretty easy to write a script that does the same thing.
And now I'm wandering off topic. Start a new thread for replies
please.
