The Gentoo Installer Project uses separate front and back ends, so the |
| 9 |
same installer has GTK and ncurses inerfaces. There was also talk of a |
| 10 |
web frontend at one point, which I though ws an excellent idea for |
| 11 |
installing to several machines on a network at the same time. The sysadmin |
| 12 |
could boot each machine from the CD then scuttle back to his dark corner |
| 13 |
to run all the installs from tabs in the same browser window. |
