I was also looking at systinstall, which requires a major rework, and we have some ideas for that too, I'd say also aim for 6.5. I also am going to talk to Scott L. about it in the near future. If you have any ideas/suggestions for the above drop me an email. Cheers, Igor :-) On 13 Mar 2006, at 22:38, John-Mark Gurney wrote: > Douglas K.
