How about everyone throwing in whatever suggestions you would like ( about anything regarding sysinstall ), and I will try to incorporate them!? The things I am specifically going to focus on are: 1. depretzel the GUI from the logic and modularize. 2. implement scripting capability so we can control the user's path through the various menus from a script file of sorts. 3. possibly make stand alone post-install GUI based utilities for fdisk/disklabel and other configuration functions.
